In which case Google and Microsoft are sure to immediately cease any work on supporting this open format, just so that they can claim Apple is unfairly preventing interoperability.

I like PNG's lossless compression. I feel like PNG was a really bad format back when hard drives were 100GB, but now storage is so cheap. I didn't know JPEP-XL had a lossless mode. Other than that format, I don't know of any other formats that offer lossless compression other than bitmap and TIF. You can't really use TIFs in many contexts and bitmaps have no compression at all.
Storage isn't cheap, check the iPhone storage upgrade prices And apps have grown in size, and video/photo size has grown
"Storage isn't cheap" "check the [Apple product] upgrade prices"
Under this logic, RAM is still $100 / 8GB, a factor of ~4x greater than non-Apple prices. A similar coefficient is true for their SSD storage pricing.

Yes, under this logic you can't ignore the reality of a large % of users when making sweeping claims about the reality of all users.
Also don't forget the fact that many devices can't be storage-upgraded, so this pushes the actual cost of extra storage even higher

That's because Mozilla has no interest supporting it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34588883
Consider upvoting the feature request here if you're interested in it: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas/status-key/... The Firefox and Chrome teams will likely get around to adding it eventually, but it's a real shame that they've both chosen to defer it. Normally Safari is the one lagging behind on web standards but somehow it's ended up being the one to lead the charge here.

#65is JPEG-XL really an upgrade over HEIC?
HEIC was designed for motion pictures where smoothing at the cost of detail is acceptable. From an image detail standpoint, yes.
