To the contrary, for the overwhelming majority of global options that are off by default, there is no menu item to turn it on. Otherwise the Options menu would just be horrendously huge. But if a global option is on by default, there is no menu item to turn it off (or back on again, if desired). This is not a discrimination issue between options that are turned on vs off by default. The question is whether people (especially inexperienced users, who are the main users of the menu bar) sufficiently often want to visit a compressed file in compressed form to make the ability of turning this option off more important (for inexperienced users) than the tons of other options that are not customizable through the menu bar.
