You... what? Webm is animated, it's a proper video format, and it's much better at it than animated webp files.Oh yeah, you're totally right. If it were a static webm, the file size would be smaller, but since we're dealing with animated webp files, the size is already pretty optimal for what they are. I want to keep them animated, so there's not much we can do to reduce the file size further.
Your webp file weighing in at 1.6 MB:

Actual webm file is less than a third the size at 451 KB:
View attachment a.webm
And the quality would be a lot better too if it was transcoded from the original video file rather than through animated webp first.
