I guess I don't get the context?
WebP is barely supported. For decades the only choice in lossy compression is JPEG, which notoriously sucks for diagrams and basically anything that isn't a photograph. So the rest of the world finally gets a format they can use, and the photographers are angry that the world doesn't revolve around them anymore?
So what if it is worse for photography? Should we continue chasing our tails for another ten years before we find the perfect format? I'm sick of data visualizations drowning in JPEG artifacts.
I'm not opposed to AVIF or whatever, but I don't care about the author's complaints. JPEG is still there. If you want to use it, go ahead.
