"Hey guys I've got a great idea, why don't you take your free thing that isn't patent-encumbered (AV1), which you're using

LCEVC leverages a base video codec (e.g., AVC, HEVC, VP9, AV1, EVC or VVC) and employs an efficient low-complexity enhancement that adds up to two layers of encoded residuals, along with normative signalled up-sampling methods, that correct artefacts produced by the base video codec and add detail and sharpness for the final output video.
