Isn't that the same as other newer formats though?

There's always something new, and if the new thing is better, adding/switching to it is the better move.

Or am I missing something about the other formats like webp?

You have to offer something compelling for everyone. Just coming out with yet another new standard™ isn’t enough. As pointed out earlier, we already have:

  • jpeg
  • Png
  • Webp
  • HEIC

What’s the point of adding another encoder/decoder to the table when PNG and JPEG are still “good enough”?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

PNG and JPEG aren’t good enough, to be honest. If you run a content heavy site, you can see something like a 30-70% decrease in bandwidth usage by using WebP.
