I wouldn't say AV1 is really settled as royalty-free. Patent trolls have bullied all the major streamers into paying the same for AV1 the same as H265, and are already prepping to do the same for AV2.
True.
They tried, though. That was at least the premise of AV1.
Perhaps that’s why AV2 has steam behind it; it’s a “second attempt” to avoid the patent trolls.
