Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 Just a thought. How about this.

 Allow users to upload jpgs are normal. Add a warning / check in the
 editor. Something like.

 “It appears you are using images that are not optimised, would you like to
 optimise them?”

 Then when you click okay, covert images to webp and remove jpeg version.

 Then add a check setting to “optimise all images by default”.

 For what it is worth, I think the server space issue is a little over
 blown. Lots of popular plug-ins add image sizes that create more files and
 no one talks about that.
