Have you compared the videos? QP 18 with H265 is almost the same. Make a comparison of a frame where you find it annoying and post it, I dare you. Also from a technical perspective: mkv is a container format where you can put in almost every codec so I could put in the original H264 video stream from the mov file as well. It says nothing about the content or quality of it. The good thing about mkv is that you can play it while encoding and when you download a torrent sequential, the file can be played, even when not finished downloading (it is streamable). I've compressed it for myself and thought some people might like it as well so I took the time and shared it. I won't upload the original because I don't want to waste my bandwidth (already seeded 800+GB). If you have a better encoding command which does not take forever and does not increase filesize by much please share it.
