In my case, Illustrator and XD, which I use a lot. One of the best features of XD is the ability to drag and drop images into placeholders but I can’t do that with webp. In Illustrator, importing a webp file crashes the app.
For a program costing US$22.99/mo crashing and not accepting webp, which is so abundant, is extrem. Especially crashing for such an expensive program is not acceptable.
Last week, I tried to send a picture using QSSTV and it wouldn’t open the webp image I saved from a website, so I had to convert it first.
Up until last year, Libreoffice didn’t support webp and many Linux distros haven’t updated to the version that supports it yet.
Even GIMP and ImageMagick didn’t support it for quite a while. Before they supported it, it was almost impossible to do anything with webp.
Which programs don’t support webp exactly?

Illustrator supports webp for a couple years now.
Must be on my end then. I tried opening one just now and it still crashes.
If it’s supported, then it doesn’t work. Photoshop also fails to open web the last time I tried it earlier this year.

Also, some sites don’t recognise webp images when I’m trying to upload those. Like, it’s literally made for web, wtf
