TAS can be considered its own competitive speedrun genre, with its own players trying to optimize and reduce times further and further. As far as I know, very few games have reached a point of being definitively 100% TAS optimized.
Additionally, TAS often is the incubator for ideas and tech that human speedrunners can adapt for their own use, too.
