That's exactly what I don't understand I suppose. AVIF has nothing to do with Google, so I'm not sure why it's a retaliation. Dropping support for WebP and WebM would be more of a retaliation, since those are actually formats developed and pushed by Google. But Google has nothing to lose and everything to gain if other browsers kill AVIF and leave WebP as the only JPEG replacement.

But alright, I will move on. You don't have to respond.
