Does it? Paint doesn't seem to use it. Even saving something uncompressed adds artifacts that don't exist in the raw.

Yeah. I would imagine a better program actually has lossless compression if the format can do that. Like I mentioned initially, their own image viewer can't even open WebP; but using the old one from XP/Vista opens them fine. 🤷‍♂️
