Comment (by noisysocks):

 I'm going to write a patch implementing the "just do it, don't tell"
 approach with a filter to disable the auto conversion.

 At first I was keen to add a setting or filter that allowed users to keep
 the original HEIC but I've come around to the suggestion to make this
 entirely invisible, because this is what ''Apple themselves'' do. For
 example, drag a HEIC photo from Photos on macOS to your desktop and it
 will create a JPEG with no warning or messaging. Same story if you upload
 a photo to WordPress or any website in Safari on your iPhone.

 Users who wish to keep the original HEIC file or covert to WebP instead of
 JPEG can install a plugin like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/heic-
 support/ HEIC Support] which already works very well.
