        What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms that don’t require a license?

        There, ftfy. You answer the question.

          I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

          Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

      Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

      If they were doing this just to be dicks, they’d spin off one of their own formats like they did with ALAC. They didn’t, they used HEIC which was also used by Android (which is now using AVIF).
