I think the artifacts from JPEG and other algorithms are distracting enough that I don't get to consider whether the image is portraying a fast moving vehicle or not. The nitpick you are making is a luxury because you aren't being distracted by the blocky hallucinations of 1992.

I prefer the graininess of JPEG to the overly noise-reduced algorithmic watercolor effect of AVIF, which reminds me of cell phone camera reconstruction algorithms and pinch zoom. Granted it's not a fair comparison because AVIF has a much larger file size.
