It's interesting that they are able to continue improving video compression. You'd think that it would have all been figured out by now.

Is this continued improvement related to the improvement of technology? Or just coincidental?

Like, why couldn't have H.266 been invented 30 years ago? Is it because the computers back in the day wouldn't have been fast enough to realistically use it?

Do we have algorithms today that can compress way better but would be too slow to encode/decode?
