That has become the modern accepted wisdom among some people, yes. There are some people today (e.g Mozilla) arguing that WebP isn't better than plain old jpeg either. So maybe in 5-10 years everybody will "know" that WebP was never better than jpeg.
Anyway, it would clearly have had one very significant advantage: support for transparency.
