NOT REALLY. VP8 and VP9 have full blown hardware decoding but Webp does not. Webp is like a + version of VP8 that never got hardware acceleration. For example it has an adjustable macroblock filtering option to control how much Webp turns images into melted butter (default settings are unsurprisingly terrible).

It is VERY relevant because there were virtually 0 commercially affordable high density displays around 2010 when Webp was released. Thus the chroma artefacting was very obvious.

Fast forward to 2025 and for around $100, 90% of poorfags can now purchase a tablet with a 200+ PPI display.
