The VPx series was always heavily tuned to optimize for PSNR, so its theoretical PSNR always overstated the series' actual perceptual quality. At least since VP6, which had a lot of advanced postprocessing technology that did a good job of hiding artifacts in a lot of ways.
I suppose the good news here is that AV1 has had no form of optimisation beyond the basic stuff done to it yet. Might be able to squeeze out a couple percent more with improved encoders. Right now encoding time is the biggest problem, especially for RTC.
