The problem with "brilliant new transform" ideas is that they have to compete with highly, highly refined implementations of almost every little detail of block-based DCT-esque encoding.
Either the transform has to be SO much better than DCT that a basic implementation of it beats modern DCT implementations, or the new transform needs to be implemented with brilliant refinement. That requires a frothy mix of genius, time, and money that is hard to find for a blue-sky, high-risk codec.
It's hard to really even evaluate new basic codec ideas for these reasons, since it's hard to predict how good a radical new idea would be once it is highly refined.
