I personally love WebP and other innovative formats, I don't wish them dead, because better compression saves time and bandwidth.
However, for saving stuff on my computer, like you, I would tend to go for more supported formats.
I'm mostly just sad that it takes so long for new formats to be widely supported.
You have no choice there. Outside of web pages it's undersupported. Is it the fault of the file format or of software that doesn't support the format?
