That's also why myself and someone else have pitched support for it being added for thumbnail cache in the xdg-specs. The files would be significantly smaller than PNGs (less than half the size) and wouldn't need to store the thumbnail at different sizes. That would also allow the cache to have thumbnails since a folder of progressively JPEG-XL would be their own thumbnails.
As for their use in wallpaper, why the fuck not? JPEG-XL has the ability to recompress regular JPEGs as JXLs at a smaller file size with no-additional quality loss so if you consider JPEGs to be well-suited for wallpapers then JXLs are better-suited. I have a huge folder of hundreds of wallpapers that I have bot to use as wallpapers and for testing purposes. They're almost all PNGs or Jpegs. Since Gnome supports JXL backgrounds I convert all of them to JXL without quality loss and I'd save space without losing the ability use them as wallpapers.
You might be the only person on the internet who thinks this is stupid.
