QOI is in the same ballpark as RLE simplicty-wise but performs much better in a larger number of common cases. That's very much "golf".

I don't know about that. My estimate would be that QOI is ten times as complex as RLE and ten times less complex than DEFLATE-style compression. It could (barely) share a ballpark with either one.
