Yes, fair enough, parts of Google contributed to JPEG-XL, too. But the basic gist remains – for WebP they decided it was the greatest thing since slice bread and enabled it regardless of what the rest of the "ecosystem" thought, whereas now all of a sudden they're supposedly that much concerned, even though Chrome is by far and large the majority of that ecosystem, Apple prefers their own format choices anyway, and it's not as if it's not also a chicken-and-egg situation.

Yes, they recognize now that WebP was a mistake, which is why they won’t single-handedly force any more image formats upon the web.

(Safari learned this lesson earlier when they got stuck being the only browser to support JPEG2000, and Microsoft with JPEG-XR)

Have you heard about AVIF?

Things can change in 12 years. Google also killed off it's WEBP v2 development last month. Apple is all in on AVIF/AV1 but has shown little to no interest in JXL (might be burnt from back when they supported JP2).

I'm not aware that they've shown any interest in JXL, so "little" seems unnecessary.
