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.
