It's because you're downloading using Chrome, and Chrome understands Webp, and Webp is about 1/3 smaller than the Jpeg.
Download using a non-webp aware browser, or something like curl or wget, and you'll not get the webp magic, you'll get a Jpeg.
Note that you may not get the original Jpeg... we compress those again too. But you'll get a Jpeg.

When I try to download the image of this post, I can only download it as .webp file. Although when I open it in a new tab, its url ends in .jpg. Same thing when I try to download it though. Why's that?
Using Chrome on Windows 10.
