This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What is the point of this format? How is it any better than png or webp? Do we really need yet another format? I mean 44k really isn’t that great of a savings in the example used.

That said 44k isn’t peanuts. That’s a huge reduction, especially on lower end connection speeds.
