I know, I’m just saying that HEIF is the next-gen incumbent to beat. A lot of comparisons are being done with WebP and AVIF and legacy JPEG, which aren’t the real competition.

Yeah the comparisons that are made here are more for the Web market which HEIF have not entered at all which is why I guess it is not being included.
Adobe have added JPEG XL for Camera raw so maybe there is a chance for JPEG XL to catch up in that area, but it is hard to say. And I agree that it could be interesting to see comparisons.

HEIF is an abstract concept like 'binary'. Saying that image is stored in binary doesn't tell much, the same for HEIF. JPEG XL can be stored in a HEIF container.
It wouldn't help with technical compatibility, and a container format containing everything under the sun is going to bring a lot of long-term support burden and attack surface with it. Also, it is going to bring chaos since no one supports the whole format but just some fraction of it.

Okay.

No, it tells plenty. It's more like saying "beat saber binary". Yeah, maybe it's a picture of Grandma inside, but it's very probably a song.
