Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he’s wasting more disk space than before.

I just tested with this image:

Default GIMP WebP export settings (90% quality): 88.8 kB

Lossless WebP mode: 85.6 kB

Default GIMP PNG export settings (compression level 9): 189.8 kB

So I don't trust this claim unless you have some evidence.

I can't see this image in the mobile app

It's just a flat-colored version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector-based_example.svg
