HN loves, in the aggregate, to hate on Google. So Chrome removing support for an image format is a good opportunity come up with inane conspiracy theories. Repeatedly. The good thing about a conspiracy theory is that facts don't matter. JPEG XL being a primarily Google-created format in the first place? The format being dead in the water on the web without support from Apple/Safari, which was never forthcoming? Nobody wanting a repeat of web? Irrelevant, you can just pretend that this is actually a format that every other browser supports.
