Where are WebM files used? Safari browsers/Apple don't even support it.

They do now. At least on desktop. But it is a more recent feature (within the last few years, I can’t remember when exactly).

MP4 with H.264 is still king for compatibility, but WebM with VP9 isn’t as bespoke as it once was.

According to https://caniuse.com/webm, desktop Safari is green since 2022, while iOS Safari is green since two months ago.
