There is not much AV1 content because there are not many platforms streaming AV1 yet. Transcoding a lossy format like H.264 or VP9 to AV1 will reduce the quality.
Not by much and it can save a bunch of space depending on what you're working with. Works well with modern anime. Squashing a h264 60GB anime to <10GB with minimal quality loss is pretty satisfying.
I'm well aware of the tradeoffs. Besides, encodes of remuxes and full disks can easily be better quality than web-dls, and with av1 or HEVC can be smaller file size too.
