Interesting read! The follow-up about the biggest smallest PNG goes even more in depth about compression and produces a 1x2064 pixel PNG with just 67 bytes.

Well written and engaging. Thanks for sharing

Extrapolating from this, a 3840x2160 image must be in the hundreds of megabytes!

Presumably that's what the compression is for.

Here the compression makes it 4 times bigger.
