WebP is Google, but HEIC is not Apple, it's an actual standard: ISO/IEC 23008-12 (MPEG-H). Apple just adopted it.

So it's Chrome that doesn't implement a standard, and Safari that doesn't implement an ad-hoc competitor technology.

Isn't HEVC, and by extension HEIC, a patent minefield, like everything that comes out of MPEG? And also webp came out before HEVC was finalized iirc.
