WebM is just MKV with a different file extension and a mandated set of codecs and officially only supporting a subset of Matroska features. I have used MKVToolNix in the past and renamed the extension and it worked in browsers.
WebM defines the file container structure, video and audio formats. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 or VP9 video codecs and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis or Opus audio codecs.
The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska container.
WebM is a digital multimedia container file format promoted by the open-source WebM Project. It comprises a subset of the Matroska multimedia container format.
It comprises a subset of the Matroska multimedia container format.
I wrote from the beginning that WebM includes a specification of a subset of Matroska it uses but that the WebM specifications also include which audio and video formats it uses. https://www.webmproject.org/about/ 100% confirms what I wrote.
You should just accept it and move on. I’m certainly moving on because discussing with someone over WebM who doesn’t even accept the contents of https://www.webmproject.org/about/ is pointless.
Glad to see it will support mkv with AV1 codec. That should be the current standard.

WebM and MKV are container formats.
AV1 is the codec, and can be contained within either WebM or MKV.
No, WebM is a specification that defines a subset of the Matroska container, VP9 or AV1 video codec, and Vorbis or Opus audio codecs.
So its a container, even if its a limited one.

No, Matroska is a container.
