For some reasons, CWEBP cannot import EXIF and XMP metadata from TIFF using
the WIC component of Windows. I would suggest to make a switch where users
can switch off WIC usageor offer an alternate build.

This is possible when building from source. To do that you could use
autoconf or makefile.unix.

autoconf will autodetect libtiff, jpeg, etc. along with wic, giving
preference to wic if available. To change this, post config you can edit
config.h by uncommenting:
/* #undef HAVE_WINCODEC_H */

There's no explicit --disable-wic currently.

the --disablw-wic switch would exactly be what I want to suggest as
enhancement to make CWEBP more usable on windows for photographic
enthusiasts.
I think this would help to spread the format.
