It doesn't necessarily.

Webp is just a file format like jpg, or png or anything else. You can implement support for it in a native app just the same as any other format.

What certainly IS true is that browsers supported it first (because distributing media on the web is what it was designed for as a format) and a lot of native image viewer apps are still lagging behind on their support.
