People have been recusively compressing their lisp folders for years.

I don't have time to build an hospital for them. It is not at all illegal to do this, so we shouldn't be putting out code that actively prevents this option. That Emacs currently doesn't do this has different reasons and looking at the code Emacs uses makes it abundantly clear that they've gone to great lengths to enable this for all files. Currently it usually is faster to read non-compressed files from disk if they aren't larger than a single allocation unit of the underlying file system (which is why the files Emacs uses most often, that is .elc files and autoloads are kept uncompressed), but there are situations were there is a clear advantage of using compression and there are also situations where compressing _all_ files is the only thing left to do.
