Native WebP Support via Google Services (Blogger)

Hi, 
Currently, after uploading a Webp image, Google Services (Blogger, Google 
Photos) decodes it to JPEG.
 
Even If using -rw prefix with a webp or jpg, a photo will be different in 
size comparing to original one, always larger when dealing with 1200px in 
width. /s600/ would result well, but /s1600/ always bigger. 

Test case:
(1)original image -  test2x.webp =*184Kb* (1280px wide) 

uploading to Blogger

../s1600-rw/test2x.webp  =  *210*Kb 
../s1600/test2x.webp = *421*Kb 

(2)original image test2x.jpg = 263 Kb (1280px) 

../s1600-rw/test2x.jpg  =  280 Kb, again results larger and not original 
image.

As you see, there is no way to get the original Webp file with 184 Kb in 
size for Google Photos & Blogger.

Logically for Google products to have a native support for webp format, *who 
else if not a creator then?*

Any ideas? 
I suggest to provide some prefix for original source, e.g. 
.../s1600-org/image.webp, which return non encoded webp file.
