Then I hope they will start drafting a AV2 spec along with a ecosystem around it.
But given the way google does thing, I am not holding my breath.

Google seems to be cooperating well enough with the group(along with everyone else even if they are on opposing sides e.g. Intel/AMD). AV1 is unlikely to have the same major issues like VP9, but it is slowly looking to become more of a stopgap for AV2 due to time pressure. I am seeing a lot of experiments being moved to AV2, which will hopefully be done right once the pressure to rush things out clears after AV1 is released.
Can't complain about the current state that much however, AV1 is still a very good codec
As for the ecosystem, I am hoping for a family of related container formats, something like:
webm - video (AV1/Opus)
webp - picture (AV1 Intra) - throw out VP8
weba - audio (Opus)
It would definitely help to market these codecs and formats a bit more to the general populace. Not sure AVIF is that great to pronounce
