I really hope this is revisited - JXL seems to be faster and better compression than HEIC/AVIF.

Don't hold your breath. Big G would prefer you use WebP and their other nearly-proprietary formats nobody wanted but they are pushing into wide use through the might of operating the most widely used browser.

But maybe if enough people finally stop using their spyware browser, there will be some hope.

You do know that Google was one of the main contributors to JPEG XL (see https://github.com/google/pik ) ?
