You trade a bit of compressibility (not much, see [1]) for a serious reduction in implementation complexity. Consider a client managing 100 simultaneous streams. Depending on the interleaving, the client could potentially need to keep around 100 separate decompression contexts. Doing decompression frame-by-frame allows for the possibility of a simple implementation that uses a single context to decompress each compressed frame as it arrives.
