Os X has supported webp for years.

I grew up on macOS, until a few years ago where I actually had my own personal computer for the first time, which had windows pre installed, so i used that and like it a lot more than macOS, i just felt so much more free, and the general workflow felt more intuitive to me, then, early this year, i switched to Linux and there’s no way in hell I’ll ever go back. In just a couple months I learned more about how computers worked than I did over something like 12 years of using computers as a teen. It’s really crazy to me how once you get something set up on Linux, it just works, and all of the documentation is open and detailed!

OS doesn't affect what web servers accept webp, which is 90% of the use case for most people. The vast majority of people use computers as a web browser only

Yeah, let's stick with obsolete (JPEG) formats, so no one needs to improve their loaders (very hard), and people can continue to use that funny video editor that came with some old version of Windows without converters (very evil, Irfanview does not have the same meme potential as WinRAR).

betacam was better than vhs, and was used in the broadcasting industry. It was better than vhs.

Betamax, which is the one you're talking about, is not the same format, and actually equal to or slightly inferior to vhs.
