I still won't get over it and will keep fighting for JPEG XL. It would fix so many issues and greatly reduce the bandwidth need of the internet while not either having weird licensing or royalties and / or being a „what if we just took one frame from a video“ picture format. Also it can encode back to JPEG lossless for legacy uses. What more could one want?
I mean there are advantages to using AV1 for photos... Hardware accelerated decoding being one.
Decoding a large AVIF image grid should in theory work on a GPU and happen faster with less power than any software based image format implementation.
AV1 is also just an awesome format that's entirely free to use out of the gate.
Isn't AV1 exclusively for video recoding? I haven't heard of it being used for photos.
