The Hubble has done yeoman's work for more than 30 years, adding vastly to our knowledge of the universe. All these pics comparing the two telescopes is making the Hubble feel bad about itself. This is treating poor old Hubble like the ‘before’ picture in a Botox ad.
It's just mean.

We got used to Hubble's amazing pics. We know they were and still are good. Plus, Hubble takes pics in the visible domain.
JWST is dedicated to Infrared, so it's looking at something different from the same place. It also has a 20 year younger sensor and has a much higher pixel count. It's supposed to look better. And that's what we got.
I think it's important to show "this was the best we could get before this new telescope" next to the new result now that we're getting the first few images.
I'm just waiting for the horsehead nebula
