Because file system compression requires cpu cycles (i.e. cpu power
and time) and I think they are more valuable to most users than
storage. So, not optimizing the packages would probably be preferable
over compressing the file system. But trimmed down packages need less
space but no additional cpu cycles so it's a win-win from the user's
perspective.
