I'm not saying j2k isn't pretty useless, but I happen to think this is largely because wavelets are over rated.
I'm not very well-versed in JPEG2K, but from those who know more than me about it, I've been told almost universally that it was a badly designed standard--not just that wavelets are problematic, but that the standard was just poor to begin with.

You'd have to talk to someone who's more familiar with the specifics to know exactly why.
