That's pretty weird. I'm on Ubuntu 23 and WebP images work the same as JPGs or PNGs.
Browsers like Chrome like to associate themselves with WebP for some weird reason, but file explorers, image editors, album viewers, and everything else support WebP just fine.
I don't know what you use, but I use Nautilus, Gnome Image Viewer, and Pinta/GIMP. Perhaps the three years of improved software support make the difference?
