For context, Google initially refused to merge JpegXL as a strategy play to promote AVIF, which was in use by other teams (i think Photos?). Internally, chrome engineers were supportive of jxl but were overridden by leadership. I guess today’s post represents a change. I don’t have any public evidence to support my claim, sorry. Take it or leave it

I think it is quite the opposite. There were some support of JXL but leadership of Google, Android and Chrome all wanted AVIF. It was a perfect opportunity to announced AVIF with AV2, may be taking the chance to fix issues that JXL wins AV1. But that didn't happen.
