I think HEIF needs time to settle and become a clear open standard before it’s safe to use.

I'd agree but it will never become an open standard due to who owns it now...

I may be misremembering, but wasn’t that once the case with PDF and Adobe?

You are right it's Adobe's file format but open to use on sensible terms by others hence so many pdf readers and editors and things like save as pdf in MS Word.

Its possible to be owned by a company but available to all. I just can't see apple ever doing that. They are cynically and deliberately obtuse.

Just look at what they have done after being (rightly) forced to USB C standard.
