Highest compression, not highest quality (arguably).
Also heavy compression which takes more resources to display.
Also poor compatibility outside browsers.
afaik it's basically still just VP8 in image format with added metadata, and google refuses to support alternatives because they like to own the browser market.
I think there was gonna be a webp and webm 2, but it never happened.
