For me it's HEIF. I love it because it's smaller and higher quality than JPEG, but literally nothing supports this format. It's annoying that I have to convert to JPEG or PNG to do anything with my images. Luckily HEVC seems to get more support on the video end of things.

HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

AV1 is for video though? JPEG-XL is patent-free, better performant than most or all alternatives, and made for images.

Takes forever to encode though

Yeah, almost as long as AV1, depending upon settings.
