Comparatively, when it comes to JPEG XL, there's only a handful of patents and most are owned by Google: https://patents.google.com/?q=%22JPE...=%22JPEG+XL%22
There's still less exact, general patents like the one Microsoft has... But overall, unless Google or Microsoft bakes such codecs in their FOSS browsers along with a patent disclaimer, no one is going to bother.
