It will be possible forever, but not easy. JPEG is built into the standard library of every scripting language, and viewers come with every OS. I'm just lazy, that's all. I've tried "better" formats, but my life is easier when I stick with JPEG, MP4 (even though it's non-free), MP3, FLAC, etc.
Just yesterday I came across an old backup I made of some CDs 20 years ago... in Monkey's Audio. The files were 2% smaller, but they also reached out from the past and annoyed the hell out of me. haha
