    Because the reason webp/webm is trash is that it uses proprietary codecs, which some software companies don’t want to include support for. It’s google’s attempt to control every format used on the web.

    We already have JXL, which is better than webp at everything it does, it’s not proprietary, and the main reason it’s still not widely supported is because google spent years trying to bury it and intentionally not offering support for it and prioritizing its own webp.

      WebP isn’t proprietary. It’s based on the VP9 video codec, which is completely open source and royalty free, and currently maintained by the same people who made AV1.
