Yup the name isn't the best pick indeed.
What most people don't know is that JPEG XL can be used to crush JPEG files by 15% to 25% without any single quality loss. And the resulting .jxl file can be used to then reproduce the original .jpg file bit-for-bit.
People can test this at the CLI for themselves.
