      Why they went through all this trouble to kill a format that they themselves co-developed, I really have no idea.

      I don’t know about AVIF, but WebP is a Google format, and they might be doing it for control, like they use control of Chrome to push more advertising.

          But google also participated to the creation of JPEG-Xl.

          And having “their” standard win does not make any sense to me to see where they benefit from it.
