While I agree with your point, I have to say that compression (or, at least, the concept of efficiency) will always matter. Network bandwidth, even when it becomes obscenely fast right to the home, is something that should always be considered. Once you take it for granted, you'll find ways to overwhelm it. It still has to flow through the network(s) the servers reside on, for example, and there's a cost associated with those pipes that's typically hidden to developers.
