Right; the issue is compatibility. But that doesn't get solved if we collectively stick to the past and only use old formats like gif and jpeg. Compatibility gets fixed by using a format, and then complaining to software developers when their software isn't compatible with our workflows. Eventually compatibility improves, and we get our cake and eat it too. Better storage and bandwidth use. And compatibility across all our software.

It just takes time.
