The problem is rather the opposite of the meme. The file format is fine, but there is so little effort into making it happen.

If we were trying then I should be able to upload webp images everywhere. The most egregious is websites that will convert jpg and png uploads to webp but don't allow webp upload.

webp isn't fine, it has a ton of vulnerabilities because it's not a safe file format. It gets to do too much and it's insecure for that reason. That's why you can't upload your own webp but conversion to it is fine

The format is fine. The rate of bugs in image parsing code in general is alarming but that is true of just about all the formats.
