Anyone else remember when people hated PNG like they hate WEBP today, for the same reason; namely lack of wide-spread software support?

JpegXL is definitely better overall, especially for its texture-preserving features, but it's even less supported than webp :(

How about 4096+RGB channels?

PNG mainly lacked support from Microsoft (Internet Explorer) and Adobe (Photoshop). IE didn't handle PNG transparency, while Photoshop had a shitty PNG implementation that tended to produce files larger than an equivalent GIF. Held back widespread adoption for almost a decade.
