Description
**Describe the bug**
I tried to compress a couple of images with XYB colorspace and different chroma subsampling settings, but found them all to be very blurry except for 4:4:4, and it seems that Luma is subsampled as well. Without using XYB there is no such problem.
Is this a bug? Or it is not recommended to use XYB and chroma subsampling together?
**To Reproduce**
Compress an image using jpegli with args given below.
**Expected behavior**
The output image should be about as crisp as the input image.

`cjpegli kodim21.png kodim21_444.jpg --xyb --chroma_subsampling=444 -q 50`

`cjpegli kodim21.png kodim21_420.jpg --xyb --chroma_subsampling=420 -q 50` looks blurry compared with 4:4:4.

`cjpegli kodim21.png kodim21_422.jpg --xyb --chroma_subsampling=422 -q 50` looks blurry and stretched horizontally.

`cjpegli kodim21.png kodim21_440.jpg --xyb --chroma_subsampling=440 -q 50` looks blurry and stretched vertically.
