Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 My inclination is to auto-convert if possible and reject the upload if
 it's not possible, per Pascal's comment to [comment:16 just do it, don't
 tell].

 The clear intent of a user uploading an image is to display it on the web.
 If displaying the image fails 80% of the time, then the user's
 expectations are not being met. My view is that conversion meets
 [https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/ WordPress philosophy] to design
 for the majority.

 I understand the argument about TIFF and other image formats but it seems
 like a red-herring as the dominant issue is the uploading of HEIC images.
