For something to take off in a big way, for me, would be for consumer-level software and hardware to support it. Alas, that isn't the case for JPEG2000, due to what I guess are IP issues. Thats not to say that JPEG2000 doesn't have its merits.

Have a look at the Library of Congress format sustainability pages on the topic: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000138.shtml What most people mean when they say not taken off is that there is no native support in browsers - just as there is no support for the TIFF format. That particular issue gets tangled up in OS software makers' manuverings.
