We’ve moved from AVC to HEVC and VP9 relatively quickly, but for some reason images are stuck in JPEG, PNG, and GIF despite newer formats like JPEG2000 and HEIC having been around for years? Videos are just images displayed very quickly, shouldn’t the adoption pace of image/video formats be similar?

Because jpegs can be compressed to almost junk – Facebook (And hence Instagram) compresses the images using their own algorithm to absolute crap but it’s all designed to look good for a brief glance on the phone – and jpeg is pretty much the universal format on all phones.
btw FB have made their horrendous image compression available – it’s called Spectrum
