So just halt innovation because a fraction of the internet's users have fast connection speeds?

Inovation ? Will it make life easier for people ? No. You still need to update. Will the page load faster ? No page still has 30 Mb at 50 kbps. Lossless ? Same as PNG. Lossy - same as JPG. So what is the inovation ? That with 20 threads on an Epyc is very fast ? How about my 1ghz phone with 4 cores ?

Lots of users in the world are still on 2G/3G and would greatly benefit from a faster image format.

This is incorrect, JPEG XL is smaller.

Also why do you put spaces before your question marks? It makes your post look rushed.
