In addition to the safety features you mentioned, Chrome supports Wuffs, a memory safe programming language that supports runtime correctness checks, designed for writing parsers for untrusted files. I don’t think it existed at the start of the webp project either, but that’s what I would expect the webp parser to be written in, over Rust or a garbage collected language.
