I also have rarely found it to not work. Like the only things I can think of off the top of my head is that the basic Microsoft image viewer that comes standard on Windows won't open them and also how some websites will force an animated .gif to be saved as a webp, making it a static image. Even though I am pretty sure webp also supports animation.

.webp has virtually no support when it comes to software/apps that can edit images, it's always either a "file format not supported", or absolutely no reaction or acknowledgement that you tried doing something

Blame the software for lack of support, not the format. Webp has been around for over a decade at this point and is only growing in significance, and it's an open source standard. No excuse for software to not support it.
