It's not the Chroma subsampling, it's the agressive de-noising removing the detail (noise is technically 'detail' you don't normally want).

410/411/422 is the least of the problems. If it was just that, it'd largely just be compression artifacts around red/blue things like you often see on streaming / TV new text banners at the bottom. i.e. things like Stop signs, etc...
