HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

AV1 is for video though? JPEG-XL is patent-free, better performant than most or all alternatives, and made for images.

Exactly, it seems to be common for new people to think hevc is just like avc but better. It is a format that is just a pain to work with, and is barely supported as compared to h264.

Even streaming services are sick of that format and rather use h264 or AV1.

Honestly I just don't like how HEVC compression ends up looking. It looks like everything has had noise added and then smoothed over, and I can always see it. AV1 or AVC are also my personal pics. AV1 for filesize and AVC for compatibility.
