I don't think this is a universally true statement. It depends on the footage, the bitrate chosen, resolution, and the encode settings (grain preservation techniques, etc), and also, which details you tend to focus on more than someone else.

I've seen many XviD videos in my time, and they almost all look like an artifacting mess by comparison to x264 or x265. x264 and x265 look far more natural to me if you choose correct settings, which is actually very easy to do.
