I think you just illustrated how difficult it is to propose a new standard. Webp was not supported by many image related softwares (including the Adobe suite!) for years and earned a bad reputation, HEIF is also poorly supported, JPEG XL was removed from Chrome despite being developed by Google and not supported by any other browser AFAIK. Never heard of farbfeld before.

If the backing from Apple and Google was not enough to drive the adoption of an image format, I fail to see how this thing can go anywhere.
