      To help users make an informed decision? GIF has become synonymous with “animated picture”. Hardly anyone knows that most “GIFs” they see are actually mp4s or WebPs. They don’t need to know. Until they have to decide on a file format themselves.

      Because it’s giving you the option to do both but there’s no reason to use gif any more, it is obsolete. WebP is no jpegxl, but it’s better than gif.
