JPEG does not support lossless compression. There was an extension to the standard in 1993 but most de/encoders don’t implement that and it never took off. With JPEG XL you get more bang for your buck and the same visual quality will get you a smaller file. There would be no more need for thumbnails because of improved progressive decoding.

It’s not just like jpeg with extra channels. It’s technically far superior, supports loss less compression, and the way the decompression works would make thumbnails obsolete. It can even recompress already existing jpeg even smaller without additional generation less. It’s hard to describe what a major step this format would be without getting very technical. A lot of operating systems and software already support is but the Google chrome team is practically preventing adoption because of company politics.
