You measuring the best of VP9 Encoder in Image quality, and then points to SVT-VP9 being the fastest encoder which isn't optimise for quality.

The VP9 encoder also tends to smooth ( clean ) the video rather than working with the noise ( Not a problem for most short internet video ), which even as of today x264 is very very good and possibly the best at.

I made two separate, unrelated statements. In any case, libvpx isn't the best VP9 encoder for quality. EVE is.

The point is that you can select the VP9 encoder that makes the most sense for your use case. You can choose from EVE, libvpx, Intel SVT-VP9, Intel Quick Sync, NGCodec, mobile device encoders, etc.
