The forcing of it from Google, trying to set their standards for the web. What's wrong with jpg and png?
Webp has better compression than png and jpg which allows websites to load faster and consume less bandwith
We could have jpeg xl, but Google said no
Google's interests actually align with ours here. They want a good image compression format so pages load faster and they get more info from people instead of them bouncing. Besides the last part, we also want that, so it's a win-win. Webp is legitimately a good image format.
