I mean... most websites don't use .bmp and that's for a reason... that reason being that it sucks ass.
That’s basically how Lemmy clients work. No, there are 14 Lemmy clients! Ridiculous, we need one universal Lemmy client… there are 15 Lemmy clients.
Now try to find somewhere which accepts apng or mng. I'll wait. ;)
Just checked, our very corporate and much antiquated website does accept apng (sadly not publicly visible as it's b2b only). We do deal with photography though, so we do expect multitude of formats and mostly either pass them unchanged or just feed them to ImageMagick and forget about it. The bane of our existence is mostly DNG which Adobe breaks every year or so by introducing breaking spec changes.
EDIT: Haven't found a place to even get an mng sample, though. Do you have any?

What is being implied here? That Website A encourages you to download an image from them in WEBP format, but you cannot then upload that image to Websites B through Z because those sites do not support WEBP?
Not just websites, but software as well. Like image editing software. Which is quite bad.

Tbh, for myself I either want lossless (eg. professional photographs for an app) or don't care about size, due to small volume (eg. my own pics and vids) and also kinda want the originals. And in today's time, bandwidth isn't lacking (for most people, including me). So everything's just a png.
As is in the name, the format is meant for web.
