It is not recompressing it. JPEG XL has a way to just take your existing JPEGs and make them smaller without changing the quality of the display, nothing about them. It's essentially a lossless conversion, just saving space. Apple could... do that to all of our JPEGs if they wanted to. I think probably the reason it is not imminent is because development in the photos world is slow.
