What is the likelihood of experiencing precisely marginal network conditions wherein webp improves the user experience so dramatically over jpeg that the user is able to notice?
If jpeg is loading like ass, webp probably isn't going to arrive much faster.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your doubt of the usefulness of other lossy formats as criticism of using lossy formats in general in the face of higher bandwidth. Reading too fast, never mind me... :)
