For what it is? Nothing.
Compared to something like JPEG XL? It is hands down worse in virtually all metrics.
Honest question, does JPEG XL support lossless compression? If so, then it's probably objectively better than PNG. My understanding with JPEG is that there was no way to actually have lossless compression, it always compressed the image at least a little.
JPEG XL supports lossless compression with a roughly 35% reduction in file size compared to PNG.
Lovely! 🤌
