Why Android camera app uses JPEG format?

There are more efficient formats like JPEG-XL, HEIF and WebP. If you convert the RAW -> JPEG -> WebP you are losing more quality. I think iPhone uses HEIF format.

Because I can't get HEIF photos to show up in Word for a report.

You probably need to install the codec from the Windows Store

And am I supposed to have that conversation with everyone that gets sent a PDF of my report?

Once it's been saved as a PDF you won't need the HEIC codecs
