I thought the reasoning was Google wanted to cartel their own fledgling webp format and didn't want to promote competition?

WebP is 15 years old, and Google cares about it less than anybody else. Pretty much everybody else supports WebP but Google can’t even be bothered adding support for it to Google Docs.
