You perfectly summarise how I felt as well. The revisionist also tries to paint the story as JPEG XL was first banned due to security issues which is again not true.
But that is OK. Since JPEG XL has finally and rightfully won its place, mostly thanks for Safari. We can now hopefully wait for better encoder.

Or even better, participate in improving it. The reference encoder is, I believe, in the libjxl repository[1].
Much of the recent effort seems to be focused on the performance of the Rust version of the decoding library[2], which is quite understandable because of the fresh browser adoption.
