We are not talking about limitations of the OS or other factor here (for example the HW acceleration of VP9) but about limitations of LAV Video.
So, if LAV supports SW decoding only, on Windows XP and not HW decoding at all on that OS, it should be mentioned as a feature or limitation of LAV and not OS (Windows XP)
you can use lavfilter with DXVA2 on windows XP. at least i'm pretty sure you can do that because i'm pretty sure i did this with an 6770 or ion1 or both many many years ago.
and it depends on the point of view if XP is missing a feature or lavfilter.
on XP DXVA2 isn't really supported.
lavfilter doesn't support the very old DXVA1.
windows XP is 15 years old so if someone wants to use this they have to life with broken or missing features.
