WEBP is not recognised as a standard type and demands the user to use strict=False as in mimetypes.guess_type("foobar.webp", strict=False) to recognise it. This is because it was previously not recognised by IANA as an official type.
Since the introduction of webp support in the mimetypes module in #89802 it has officially been accepted to IANA and thus is not a "non-standard format" anymore.
