There is no reason to bend over backwards to make up excuses for bad behaviour.

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.
