The suggestion is to effectively have small (thumbnail) large (full size) and a third version of the image for displaying in the post - almost like a larger thumbnail, with the large not being loaded until opened in the lightbox.

It does make sense but the file size issue is still key here. Even WebP savings are only 30% and while a medium sized image is going to be smaller anyway, for some forums that does add some heft to what they’re storing.

Not ruling it out but I have seen the additional storage requirements for stuff like this being seen as a net negative by some.
