I'm happy that Apple hasn't adopted WebP. JPEG XL and AVIF are better formats. Even Google is considering creating WebP2. WebP is already an outdated format (no HDR support), which should just die.

Disagree.

There's various web standards that export to webp: web recording, video conferencing etc. [1]

Apple have effectively veto'd a web standard, pushing developers and users into their ecosystem yet again.

>web recording, video conferencing

Why cant those be done on H.264?

[tarkin2]

Whether they can or can’t is besides the question.

They’re not in the standard.

And Apple have thereby again damaged an open standard’s wider-scale adoption.
