> it doesn't support wide gamut color

That's wrong, you declare this with an ICC profile, done.

Lossy WebP has an important limitation in being YUV 4:2:0. And it's strictly 8-bit. That is the actual reason it doesn't replace JPEG, which is rarely even implemented to a greater extent.

Lossless WebP replaces GIF. Despite much better compression, it doesn't replace PNG, which supports 16 bits, and has stronger metadata support.
