I actually rather like it, and at this point many of the tools I use have caught up so I don't mind it any more myself.

Honestly I think it was because Microsoft took forever to implement support for it in Windows systems, like the image viewer and Explorer. That is assuming there’s support now. I don’t actually know.
My impression is that for ordinary non-power users it was supported from the start (i.e. the commonplace image viewers and editors could open it), it just felt annoying at first because it seemed forced upon the user.

Probably some of that. Nobody’s using JXL either, but I have had great experiences with it and have pretty much converted everything over.
