Apple gave use HEIC and apparently HEVC, and sets HEIC as a default (I still get it even though I tell my systems not to ever use it)
Google gave us webp, which I have to convert in order to post on DU, and which MANY sites use because it's compact.
Microsoft must also do something of the sort, but I try to avoid anything of theirs.
Fortunately, Apple and LibreOffice and others handle "Microsoft office" formats well.

It's pretty maddening.
