RAW? Storage is becoming cheeper, why discard the originals?

When looking for a format to display HQ photos on my website I settled with a combination of AVIF + JPG. Most photos are AVIF, but if AVIF is too magical comparatively to JPG (like 3x-10x smaller) I use a larger JPG instead. "Magic" means that fine details are discarded.

WebP discards gradients (like sunset, night sky or water) even at the highest quality, so I consider it useless for photography.

not every storage is created equal. 1TB hdd is dirt cheap, 1TB of cloud storage is expensive af
