What - doesn’t - support webp at this point? P much all maintained open source software has for years upon years, os x has for years, Android and iOS have for ages as well, even windows added support a year ago or so supposedly.

Like are these memes made by confused time travelers?

You answered your own question. I spent years playing the game of "This image is a JPEG. Will the website force me to save it in a format that can't be opened by the basic Windows photo viewer, or will it actually be a JPEG when I download it?"

You'd be surprised how often it would turn out to be the former rather than the latter.

Windows photo viewer sucks, that’s your problem

Nomacs is a better alternative. Not perfect, but FOSS and faster than windows https://nomacs.org/

I thought most people replaced every part of Windows with something better, because none of it was very good.
