WEBP is very weird to convert to other formats and retain metadata. This is not a problem with JPG, PNG and other formats. And only one tool I mentioned solves that problem.
Is that an issue with the format or the currently available tools though?
Google is responsible for this problem. They created WEBP, which was not necessary to adopt, but shoved it in our throats via Chrome saving images as WEBP by default, and making websites that use their cloud as CDN serve WEBPs in general.
