It solves the problem of "can't crank up the volume to hear the softer passages enough because the louder parts gives me pain, but can't turn down the volume down enough to avoid the pain because then I can't hear the softer sounds". More tunes for the buck. Amplitude differencies are obviously scaled down (lost) in the process, but music also consists of frequencies. Some might call that the most important part of music. (Others may say the music is what happens between the notes.) But even in Iggy Pop's most compressed work there are melodies to be heard.
