The ecological and human impact of dropping support for JPEG XL is too high to tolerate.
Use your relationships/scholar authority to make chromium change its mind about the removal.
The manager behind this decision must have undiagnosed early dementia yet I'm sure there's not just one brain behind this decision and that you can make them decide otherwise.

It is likely their mob politics didn't realize that webp2 is abandoned https://chromium.googlesource.com/codecs/libwebp2/+/1251ca748c17278961c0d0059b744595b35a4943%5E%21/
that AVIF is massively inferior as it is slow to encode/decode (cf Facebook engineers comments) and that is lacks the disruptive feature of losslessly recompressing existing JPEGs without generation loss.
And they probably don't realize that JPEG XL is originating from Google, cf PIK.
Once they'll learn this info they should be expected to switch that little boolean in their head.
