I think you forgot a pretty crucial point, that it is also royalty free. Royalty would be a huge problem.

I have yet to see a general royalty free image format as feature complete and up to date as IFF was for the Amiga back in 1985. From your list, Jpeg XL would finally even surpass that. As a very feature complete format improving on at least 3 formats (GIF PNG JPG)while wrapping them into 1. The only thing missing, is to become universally supported.

I wonder how the Chrome team managed to test it so poorly they claimed it wasn't worth it? Just the versatility alone should make it a no-brainer.
