If you make apps at scale there is a clear advantage of webp. Many of the @2x files we serve get an instant 50% weight reduction with zero noticeable quality loss (as compared to the tweaked jpeg). Most are in the 20-30% range but that's still pretty great. It's like going from ttf to woff2 or gzip to brotli.

I wish it was the standard over jpeg at this point. At least on the consumer/user side of things.

Is this a Shopify thing? I notice a lot of the images I scrape from Shopify pages are resized with names like that appended to their filename

It's more of an iPhone thing. Or anything else with retina display, for those you can choose to serve higher resolution images then you would normally do at the cost of bandwidth

iPhones use HEIC.
