I feel a little cheated by the recent upgrade that added webp/HEIF support. Webp support won't actually be a helpful feature until that's the format accessible by WordPress (at the very least as an option).
While it's marginally convenient in special edge cases that I can upload webp files to my properties' photos, OwnerRez seems to be immediately be converting them to jpg. The image carousel on my website is still displaying photos in the jpg format, so the speed improvements I was hoping to see are non-existent.
Virtually all browsers have supported webp for more than 5 years (Chrome has for almost 15!), so I don't understand why we're stuck using a 30-year-old, inefficient format.
