Why did JPEG XL get removed in the first place?

  Because Chrom* removed it.

    Firefox is independent of Chromium, why would they remove it?

      Unclear, imho I think Mozilla thought jxl had zero chances of chrome was not supporting it and hence they gave it up. Or, they were using the same google-developed library.
