Now that would be downright silly, wouldn't it, suggesting that

There were, however, standardized, documented, and widely-supported
file formats before that time. Picking the most obscure,
least-supported one during that time would be stupid, just as it would
be now.
And, by the way, we can still read those file formats.
Further, JFIF has been around for a LONG time. Care to estimate the
number of digital images in existence before its inception, as a
percentage of the total number of digital images in existence now?

But those
are the ones we're talking about. If people are saving
images in weird, undocumented, known-by-a-handful-of-people image
formats, they're effectively screwing themselves (and their images) in
the future.
So everybody who used digital image processing systems before JFIF(JPEG),
etc became a standaard was 'screwing themselvae's and is an idiot?
