You're not being fair. Webp has been the only choice for lossy image compression with alpha layer. Give it some credit.

Fair point, though not entirely true: you can run an image through lossy compression and store the result in a PNG, using tools like pngquant [1]. Likely not as efficient for many kinds of images, but totally doable.
