The dangers behind image resizing (2021)
Browsers now 'deliberately' do it wrong, because web developers have come to rely on the fact that a 50/50 blend of #000000 and #FFFFFF is #808080

I'm a little bit sympathetic for doing it wrong on gradients (having said that SVG spec has an opt-in to do the interpolation in linear colorspace, and browsers don't implement it). But not for images.

Linear RGB blending also requires >8 bit per channel for the result to avoid noticeable banding.
It is unquestionably superior though.
