Sounds like you’re not looking for an open standard but a Mac standard.
If its Mac compatibility then just go with Prores.
And Macs only come some codec support not all. Even MPEG2 has to be purchased and installed on a Mac for MPEG2 playback.
Likewise you have to install the Avid codecs (which are free) to get support. But you can install them on any Mac or PC from free.
We can no longer install QuickTime on PCs and get ProRes support as Apple no longer support QT on PCs and the last PC QT version has security issues.
And yes a JPEG compressed file would expect to be smaller than a ProRes one. It’s a more advanced sophisticated codec. Its not the file size that determines quality.
An H264 file is smaller than an MPEG2 but better quality.
