Existing audio codecs focus on a narrow set of applications, such as either voice or music in a narrow range of bitrates, real-time streaming, storage applications, and so on. This is one reason there are so many audio codecs, and nobody expects a single codec to be optimal across a wide range of uses.
That is, until now: Opus's "sweet spot" dominates nearly the entire audio-coding application space.
