between passkeys and webp i’m starting to think that software consumers just hate good things

What's wrong with webp? Passkeys confuse me but at least it's a difficult area, don't think a solution will please everybody.

desktop image viewers like the default windows one didn't add support for webp for decades, making the images very hard to use for people.

Yeah webp is great just looking at the features and compression but outside of browsers they still don't work with most applications.

I never understood why. Are there licensing issues or something? It's a commonly used format so you'd think software would start supporting it.
