It wasn't killed off. Support was removed from Chrome, for what appears to be rather spurious reasons, but practically everyone else are busy implementing it.

Sadly removing support from Chrome is effectively the same as killing it off. And the reason is Google wants people to use webp instead.

Not really? Chrome dropped support but Google is actually supporting the JPEG-XL rust port that Firefox is waiting on.

> killed off

my guesswork is that JPEG XL will likely outlive Chrome by 100+ years
