However, PIK is really interesting. It basically behaves like a much more efficient JPEG. It has blocking and ringing artifacts, but preserves much more details than the other encoders. I sure prefer it over the artifactless, but sterile looking and blurry AV1 or HEVC images.

I wonder why they bother with HEIF/ISOBMFF when AV1 is already webm/matroska centric.
