As someone commented on this lightheartedly written phoronix article:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GIMP-WebP-Image-Support

"I think it's too much compatibility breakage for too little gain (especially when even mozjpeg can beat it) and the whole WebP family of functionality (there's lossly, lossless, and animated variants) feel too much like Google's just trying to obsolete perfectly good standards (without active patent threats) purely so they can control the standard."

I say "lightheartedly written" because of the punchline: "Have you been using the WebP image format at all? Do you think Google is doing enough to promote it?" ROFL. Brought to you by fooronix, our official daily joke provider.

NB: this is a 2016 article, in case anyone wondered.
