Date: May 26 2017

H.264 8-bit (image is played back desaturated)

Quicktime X has no problem reading the Rec.2020 color space and is proven by looking at a green generator as both a rendered Rec.709 and rec.2020 file.
*Note - These results are only considering an SDR Gamma of 2.2 and do not include HDR PQ (SMPTE ST 2084 1000nit) or HDR HLG (BT.2100)
In even better news, Chrome Canary finally supports proper color management in YouTube i.e. videos do not appear hyper saturated, INCLUDING Rec.2020 uploads.
