You can't import WebP images into Google Slides, for example.- WebP was a Google lonely project while AV1 derived AVIF included broad participation from codec researchers, hardware companies and content providers.
- With AV1 Mozilla/Xiph.org are on board since [Alliance for Open Media](http://aomedia.org/) inception jointly with Google and Cisco.
- They did have a sit in the member's pool for defining the governance of AOM and for the AV1 codec.
- They could contribute with source code like parts of code imported from Daala video codec.
- They could integrate algorithms developed from they research on Daala like [Non-binary Arithmetic Coding](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-te...02#section-2.1), [Deringing Filter/CDEF](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/06/av...cement-filter/) and [Chroma from Luma](https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing)
- They could contribute with AV1 video quality [requirements](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mo...c-requirements) and [evaluation](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8761/) and also with software [infrastructure](https://arewecompressedyet.com).
- WebP quality and compression gap wasn't big enough when compared with jpeg. Webp suffered from the success of jpeg.
- WebP patent defense scenario was not clear as compared with the AOM strong patent pool.
- There wasn't a wave of adoption except from Google and virtually no hardware encoding/decoding.

WebP isn't supported on ANY G-Suite product: Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drawings, Jamboard, etc... It's absurd that Google is pushing its successor when they've only barely implemented into their own web products.
