What about the current AV1 patent issues, like Sisvel/Access Advance and Dolby vs Snap? Does that change the AVIF vs JXL comparison at all?

those issues aren't real. they're nuicense suits by a patent troll. a couple companies will settle cause it's easier and cheaper, but if they ever try to go after someone big they'll fight it and get the patents invalidated for covering 30 year old work
