Because that would be a unilateral decision, just like the client deciding that it’s going to send application/foobar+baz to your resource.

Now, if the client were to be able to discover that the resource (NOT server) supported compressed request bodies, that’s a different thing. However, *waves hands* this is not the WG you’re looking for…
