I agree philosophically, but, unfortunately, [i]upward[/i] compression can be somewhat helpful in pretty much anything short of a Rolls because of a vehicle's, especially a moving one's, higher noise floor, than one might have at home. Of course, the higher the [i]resolving[/i] power of a system, the less the compression "necessary" to achieve conveyance/intelligibility of the source material.
A vehicle's interior has several parameters that are prioritized for it being a driver/passenger environment, and that's pretty much irreconcilable with an optimized home listening environment: sound stage, standing wave control, imaging, etc.
