There exist lossless use cases, for sure. I think most people would be well-served by high-fidelity lossy that saves a lot of bits while still looking perceptually identical. Whoever isn't served by that most likely doesn't care about size savings, and can stick with lossless PNG.
The problem with that is that the idea many stakeholders (especially big platforms) have of "perceptually lossless" is actually compressed to hell garbage. The only way you as a user can ever guarantee actually perceptually lossless is to use a fully lossless format.
