 generate thumbnails for this webp.

 I agree! I'll note that animated GIFs are currently not supported by WP
 for resizing either, unfortunately (See: #28474).

 I'm not sure about GD support (I saw in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52867#comment:11 another comment]
 that Adam noted GD doesn't support resizing animated files) -- but with
 Imagick for GIFs, this is because WP grabs the first frame, and resizes
 that, rather than iterating through and resizing all of the frames. I
 don't know if WebP handles this in a different fashion that might make it
 easier.

 Regardless, I think it'd be a nice feature to support.
