Google basically made jxl. I'm sure there's plenty of interested people in there, it's always just been the chromium team blocking it

It's not the Chromium team. Google could have added JPEG XL to Android, but that's been stalled for nearly two years with zero explanation as for why.

The whole thing smells of managerial interference somewhere.
