VVC is better than AV1 even before massive amount of tuning. The actual VVC spec including conformance finished in 2022. While for AV1 was 2018.

And H.267 ECM is miles ahead of AV2. There are not even in the same category as AOM has stated AV2 intends for 1080P and efficiency. While ECM at its current form is 50x to 100x slower than VVC encode, and 8 - 10x slower to decode. I am not even sure if it will ever be useable.
