Devil's argument time. They add support and there's little adoption. Worse yet, it's a meaningful amount of adoption that deprecating is now it's own criticism cycle. So now Google is being forced to add support and maintain an image format because of evangelists?
I think the problem here is that W3C is lagging on listing which image formats are standard and vendors are shipping their own in-house tech in the vaccuum (and that W3C is composed of browser vendors means Google, Apple, Microsoft, Mozila & whoever is there from the community can't agree).
