Fine detail is still better preserved where JPEG blows it away on low Q settings. A filter can't reconstruct that information.

Probably, but that effect is subtle and not the "OMG THIS IS PIXELATED" nonsense the linked page is showing.

I'm not saying BPG isn't better, I'm saying that link is ridiculous and doesn't capture the much more modest gains that it actually offers.
