Seems a bit too late? And also, JPEG XL supports all the features and uses already advanced compression (finite-state entropy, like ZStandard). It offers lossy and lossless compression, animated pictures, HDR, EXIF etc.

There is just no need for a PNG update, just adopt JPEG XL.

No one can afford to "just". Five years later and it's only one browser! Crazy.

Browser vendors must deliver, only then it's okay to admonish an end user or Web developer to adopt the format.

Adopt it anyway. Add a decoder. Don't let google bully you out of such a good format.
