Still can't upload it to every site that takes images, my file browser doesn't preview them nicely for whatever reason, that kind of stuff.

The support for WEBP images across the industry is like 100x better than AVIF or JXL.
JXL is too new to draw any conclusions. But indeed, the market has spoken and it doesn't want avif. I tried adding avif support to a service myself, but the very slow encode speed made it unsuitable without paying for a larger server (or worse, a thumbnailner-as-a-service). Only a handful of enthusiasts (who chime in every such thread!) like avif.
Personally I fully expect jxl to succeed where avif failed and webp floundered.
I wonder how much lack of support is due to the name that seems to self-imply that it's only for the web.
Seems like terrible branding if it wants to be taken seriously as a standard.
Presumably the same problems exist for avif/jxl?
