    You seem to realize that pngs are larger. Are you convinced that web performance doesn’t matter? Just because you technically can use a larger image doesn’t make it a good idea. If the web were all png and no jpgs every site and app would literally be something like twice as slow. Sounds like a bad time to me. Studies have shown in e-commerce settings even a couple hundred milliseconds in load time can have significant impacts on sales.
