It’s a software issue rather than OS. Too many programs and websites can’t handle webp.

From memory Paint on W10 is able to open webp, and save as another file extension if required. I had to convert so many of these images for product listings online, only for them to be converted back to webp…

The main issue I’ve had is trying to share memes in that format via mms.
