Lossless dismissed? 11% isn't nothing, that's trillions of images out there. Mozilla's own data shows JXL lossless beating AVIF and WebP. That's the one weakness of avif that bothers me, for lossy and speed it is brilliant. Companies may have another itch with the misleading licensing:
AVIF's "royalty-free" is under active legal attack (Dolby v. Snapchat). JXL has clean ISO commitments so no such suit would be possible. If "free" matters, JXL is safer.
Perceptive quality with the latest AV1 caught up, but that's a rigged timeline. Chrome supported JXL "late", then pulled it altogether. AVIF did improve further yes, it had web usage, it was behind when the race was meant to start. Why would JXL continue to optimize for web once the major browser refuses to support it.
