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.
