Reminds me of the last six months before I switched from JPEG to WebP on my web sites. I still had a 2013 Mac Mini that didn’t support WebP in Safari because Apple hadn’t built WebP into the system libraries and they chose not to support my machine. That was enough reason for me to not make the switch (any economic benefit is diminished if you have to keep two copies of each image.)
I felt so infantilized because something that is just a userspace thing is locked to the OS.
To their credit, Apple did eventually enable WebP for those mac’s but I hate being dependent like that and having to develop software for people who are likewise dependent.
