I think there's a difference here.

If I right click save and get a webp, it was probably converted from JPG. Very very few images are uploaded in webp. So getting a webp image means you've downloaded an inferior version.

JXL doesn't have this issue because conversion from jpeg is lossless. So you've still gotten the real, fully-quality image.

Let's be realistic - when most users are upset they got a .webp, they're not annoyed because of quality-loss, they're annoyed because they can't immediately use it in many other services & software.
