If you look at slide #14, you'll see Opera was an early adopter.
Firefox published a "No" blog-post in 2013, and Safari removed WebP support from Sierra preview in 2016, eventually adding it back in 2020. Stuff happened.
And yes, when WebP was created there was a real, non-incremental, need for a Web-oriented image format. Nowadays, it's just incremental improvement on this idea for browsers.
