They actively push against JPEG XL, despite all the data, prior to even 1.0 suggest it is or could be better than AVIF in many cases. To the point where they even make up false benchmarks to downplay JPEG XL. Companies were even willing to paid ( wont name ) and put resources into getting JPEG XL because they see it to be so good.

Well partly because this is a company who gave us an over promised WebP and underdelivered.
