  How much time does that waste, every single time I have to interact with these? How much quality does it lose? Face it, these "modern" image formats are a massive annoyance for everyone except Web engineers.

    ... so different formats exist because people want different things out of images, for instance for print, or for web, or for editing, and because all compression algorithms have their own tradeoffs. That's not a web engineer thing. I can't really imagine a world where you don't have to choose what format files should be in, and I can't really imagine a more easy way to do that conversion.

    I don't know that much about the subject but I had an image for a website I was optimising and the avif version was 10x smaller than the png version, even after I'd run through the normal techniques to squeeze it down, and 3x smaller than the jpeg while still looking much better. That's a really significant saving. Making an image your wallpaper isn't something people do every day, going through an extra step is hardly onerous. And support will increase until it no longer matters.
