It's just experience from a video monitoring project we made for a Telco operator - we had to pay up quite a few JPEG related tech, just to get a certification. Even despite that tech being free.
Historically video related field was one of the most patent and license encumbered. That's why AV1 exists.
There is no reason to bend over backwards to make up excuses for bad behaviour.
