Comment (by markhowellsmead):

 If there is a site which wants to offer HEIC downloads, then the decision
 to automatically convert the files to JPG and delete the originals would
 stop that from being possible.

 > HIEC only works in Apple browsers

 …which is currently 20% of the internet, so that shouldn't be a dismissive
 statement.

 > There could be PHP filters for changing that behavior,

 That's a reasonable suggestion, but one which would mean that a site owner
 would need to add a plugin—or have one developed—to allow HEIC on their
 site, where all* other image formats are allowed.

 ''(* I believe…)''
