I don't know about AVIF, but WebP is a Google format, and they might be doing it for control, like they use control of Chrome to push more advertising.
Google is also a member of the AOM, which created the AV1 format, which AVIF is derivative of - if you're wondering why they're pushing AVIF.
Avif is pushed because it's good and has hardware support across the board
