is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I'm tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there's like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

If something doesn’t support webp you should really be converting it to png not jpg so it doesn’t get more degraded

Isn't jpg more efficient for pictures, whereas png is better for graphics type elements with defined colors and edges?

JPEG is for real life photos and document scans, using it for anything else is just lossy compression.
