    It’s a format that most major image editors don’t support. Basically, if you wanted to do anything with it, you need to first convert it to a different format. It’s the only format that has this problem.

      That’s fair except it’s not the only format that has this problem. There’s JPEG 2000 and AVIF which have even less image editor support.

      I’m old enough to remember when the same argument was made for PNG files. It’s a stupid argument.

        WEBP is 13 years old at this point and lacks the support that PNG had 3 years into its lifetime. The benefits are marginal, and without platform support it can’t catch on. Do your research before calling someone else’s argument stupid.
