webp is just a container for the png - you can “save as…” and change it to png, and it should work. changing the file extension from webp to png after downloading also works

should be in the url for the file itself. this post, as an example, if I’m trying to save the thumbnail itself (from desktop browser), it gives me the link, with png hidden before the “format=”:
just takes a little looking around the urls 99% of the time. for mobile, I’m of limited help there. and I hope browsers support the container more directly in the future, because I agree that it isn’t as straightforward as it could be.

expanding the image and opening that image in its own tab gives me a url that links directly to the png:
