It seems like either

I get a .webp file when I don't want it (downloading images)
I try to use a .webp format, but it isn't allowed (uploading images)

So who is trying to encourage people to use it, and who is trying to prevent adoption?

I'm constantly converting it with imagemagick and other tools

Jpeg XL should win, but Emperor Google disapproved since it isn't their format.

It was mainly based on a combination of a proposal called PIK,[9] submitted by Google, and a proposal called FUIF[10] — itself based on FLIF — submitted by Cloudinary.

I dont know why Google is not supporting it, but it is their format.

Edit: removed insensitive comment.
