But also, like GIF, it's pointless when lossless WebP exists and is supported everywhere. It's more efficient. Lossy WebP does not make as much sense though since jpegli entered the game.

OP has made https://halide.cx/iris/ which could make lossy WebP make sense, but it's not open source or generally available.

WebP was introduced 15 years ago. New relative to JPEG perhaps, but certainly not new.
