Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression. Diagrams should use lossless compression so the image does not lose any quality.
Images on the web usually aren't large enough for this to make a significant difference, and it can sometimes be offset by the quicker download time.
libjpeg and libpng have had a number of CVEs too though.
WebP did not always support lossless compression. It's conceivable that the tools' developers made the decision before that.
That does not fit the use case of diagramming tools. They usually have comparatively few assets that are used multiple times in the same document. The larger the document, the more benefit lower CPU cost has. And I've seen LARGE diagrams.
Fair. I'm just speculating that it might be a contributing factor for the tools still not supporting the format.
WebP was first released in 2010, and lossless support was added in 2011. I really doubt there were tools built between 2010 and 2011 that haven't been updated since then.
SVG is probably a better fit for this use case.
Absolutely... when available. But many companies/teams do not release SVG artwork. PNG material is much more commonly available, and actually works with these tools.
