#2As a radiology software developer: please please let JPEG XL become a thing.
I sincerely hope this might make Chrome change its mind.
JPEG XL is a game changer for 16 bit lossless images. The technical landscape for these kinds of images today is barren.

#3And Google just (sadly) pulled support from Chrome.
Your move, Google.

#4Excellent. JPEG XL is a usable general-purpose image format, not just a passive delivery format like WebP and AVIF.

As a mirrorless photographer who wants to publish photos on the web that look like they came out of a mirrorless camera I want JPEG XL. In trials I've done, AVIF works well for a throwaway splash image for a blog but compression results are not so impressive compared to JPEG or WEBP if you want the image to hold up under close inspection.
On the other hand there is something that seems almost infantile about image support in the "operating system" being pivotal. If you read a review of a new MacOS in ArsTechnica you might get the idea that 99% of an OS is about what the buttons look like but in terms of the computer science definition, image codecs are definitely a userspace thing and as a Windows or Linux user I never wait for my OS to support an image format, I just install the codec and code away.

With the only justification being "nobody wanted it", a plainly false statement.
WebP isn't good enough. AVIF isn't good enough. JPEG XL is good enough.

As an ‘operating system’ OS X includes user space tools like the Finder and Quick Look in particular where vendor support is helpful.

Could you explain how so? JPEG XL seems cool enough but what about e.g. AVIF makes it "just a passive delivery format" instead of a general-purpose image format? It handles color spaces, lossless, lossy, up to 12 bit, up to 4:4:4/RGB, transparency, and animation at a good quality/size ratio so what's so drastically different about JPEG XL to move them to separate categories?

#9Finally, a good reason to upgrade (again).

Google is using the wrong tricks to keep marketshare.. I'm not even sure if they know it
