Compression. I saw very similar "smoothing" on a zoomed in photo I took recently at home as the city sign in the background shows.

Edit: these are a bunch of turkeys that were about 50 feet away but once I zoomed into the picture the texture seemed really off.

This looks like an oil painting I'd see at an AirBnB cabin

That describes it perfectly.

What camera is doing this? Why would someone use this kind of enhancement? I don’t see the benefit at all — it just looks so much worse.

My dashcam does this, probably so they can claim it's a higher resolution than it really is.

Google pixel 6 with quite a bit of zoom.

Is there actually a fix for this behavior such as deactivate a certain feature? For most images I use "open camera", but the general quality of the onboard software is just better.

So if I use the 2x, 1x, or 0.7x zoom things look normal. If I go past the 2x it's when things start to look painted when you look closely.
