How does this compare with delta lake and iceberg?

Vortex is a file format, where as delta lake and iceberg are table formats. it should be compared to Parquet rather than delta lake and iceberg. This guest lecture by a maintainer of Vortex provides a good overview of the file format, motivations for its creation and its key features.

I think it would still make sense to compare with those table formats, or is the idea that you would only use this if you could not use a table format?
