What I see now is pages lossily compressing pngs "because webp can do lossless" instead of just handing me the png file they still have.

And there are still tons of issues with webapps out of my control not supporting it.

Etsy uses webp internally but won't let you upload one.

I encounter on a weekly basis issues with trying to work with or upload webp formats

Just this week I tried to upload a webp to google drawings (the google drive document for some kind of vector graphics), but google drawings only accepted gif, jpeg, and png. That taught me, that google drawings dosn't receive any updates any more and probably soon will be killed by google, and also, that webp still isn't available everywhere.

still have that problem and i hate how much of a pita it is to switch it off in most browsers (that i tried at least)

I feel like even five years ago, this was a Windows problem I was too Linux to understand.

I have literally never had a problem opening a .webp. By the time my browser started downloading in that format, all my other software (Dolphin, Gwenview, GIMP, etc.) already supported it too.

Still pisses me off on the regular, but maybe there's a trick to fix this that I haven't learned.

True. I never SMS memes to anyone, so having images download to webp is not a problem.
