The prospect of the images getting "structurally" garbled in unpredictable ways would probably limit real-world applications: https://miro.medium.com/max/4800/1*RCG7lcPNGAUnpkeSsYGGbg.pn...

There's something to be said about compression algorithms being predictable, deterministic, and only capable of introducing defects that stand out as compression artifacts.

Plus, decoding performance and power consumption matters, especially on mobile devices (which also happens be the setting where bandwidth gains are most meaningful).
