>>105771482>WEBP and AV1 is better for corporations to reduce bandwidth costs, but just shifts those costs onto the end user with increased power draw and requires consooming new hardware.1. webp REDUCES power draw on mobile devices, since it barely takes any more processing power to decode than jpeg but results in smaller data to be received wirelessly, see picrel
2. av1 only increases power draw if you haven't consoomed new hardware that has hardware decoding for it, if hardware decoding is present, it either uses the same amount of power as h264, or again, requires LESS power in case of mobile devices or laptops because you are transferring less data while decoding takes the same amount of power.
plus there are many use cases where the end user definitely can also benefit from av1 leading to smaller filesizes/bandwidth requirements if you just think about it for like 5 minutes, there really is no reason to be against it as long as fallback to legacy codecs is present for devices without hardaware decode/encode.
