PNG does support a form of lossy images with alpha — palette-quantised images can have varying degrees of transparency. 

The problem is that Photoshop doesn't support this, so many authors assume it's impossible.

While it's not as good as WebP:

IMHO for majority of cases it's "good enough".

There's also potential to make 24-bit PNG smaller by removing information (e.g. by posterising and lossy application of PNG's filters).
