The funniest thing is that even some of Google's own products don't accept Webp, like Google Voice.

I love webp though
wrong
That is because you are ignorant.
Stop trying to make .webp happen. It’s not going to happen.
Maybe we should try to make it happen harder
They use it on their server side to save data, they don't give a rip if we don't use it. If they wanted us to use it, they'd have cancelled it already.

Just don't let Google kill JPEG XL.
"It works just like regular image formats, but it's fun."
No webp for me, just because Google is pushig it and that is suspect.

Now try to find somewhere which accepts apng or mng. I'll wait. ;)
Just checked, our very corporate and much antiquated website does accept apng (sadly not publicly visible as it's b2b only). We do deal with photography though, so we do expect multitude of formats and mostly either pass them unchanged or just feed them to ImageMagick and forget about it. The bane of our existence is mostly DNG which Adobe breaks every year or so by introducing breaking spec changes.
EDIT: Haven't found a place to even get an mng sample, though. Do you have any?
I have never heard of those formats.
My point exactly.
What is being implied here? That Website A encourages you to download an image from them in WEBP format, but you cannot then upload that image to Websites B through Z because those sites do not support WEBP?
Yes
Not just websites, but software as well. Like image editing software. Which is quite bad.

Tbh, for myself I either want lossless (eg. professional photographs for an app) or don't care about size, due to small volume (eg. my own pics and vids) and also kinda want the originals. And in today's time, bandwidth isn't lacking (for most people, including me). So everything's just a png.
Oooh baby I like RAW
Always save as RAW
As is in the name, the format is meant for web.
The real difference is between gif and animated webp... Even fewer places accept animated webp than normal webp and those that do often don't even show it right (looking at you slack emojis) which is a travesty as the file size difference is huge
