I'm a little out of the loop on webp. What makes it problematic?

This is how every new thing starts though. You don't just get better standards overnight. Jpg and png didn't happen overnight either. PNG had this problem for quite a while.
It's not a problem with WebP. It's a problem with tooling that aren't moving forwards to objectively more effective formats.
