JPEG XL had so much going for it. Kinda sad it was killed off just like that.
As it currently stands there should be over a billion devices that natively support JPEG-XL, as it was introduced in all Apple OSs since September 2023[1].
On the web alone it should be close to a billion users with support for JXL due to Safari’s market share.

It's also supported in Windows, GNOME, KDE, pretty much all image editors/viewers, and pretty much every other relevant program except for chromium based browsers.
Not just Chromium-based browsers, Firefox as well. Might not make much of a difference for user counts but it does mean that so far it's available on the web is limited to a single vendor.
