Because most of my software doesn’t have support for webp, including but not limited to my Mac, phone, and messaging apps. Until everything supports it, I have to keep converting it to use it, so I just don’t bother saving anything as webp. In fact, I have a firefox extension that lets me save webp as other image formats.
It may be good to use for the web, but it’s not yet good for me.

I personally love WebP and other innovative formats, I don’t wish them dead, because better compression saves time and bandwidth.
However, for saving stuff on my computer, like you, I would tend to go for more supported formats.
I’m mostly just sad that it takes so long for new formats to be widely supported.
You have no choice there. Outside of web pages it’s undersupported. Is it the fault of the file format or of software that doesn’t support the format?
