Not quite - the opposite actually. You trade off the information at 45º angles to get a higher resolution at vertical and horizontal with the same data volume.  You do not need the high spatial frequency information on the diagonals since you cannot see it anyway.

If you want a good masters project that potentially could lead to some interesting patents and financial opportunities in the future, rebuild the JPEG and MPEG systems with a rectangular to hexagonal conversions for the front and back end (encode and decode) with the compression occurring in a hexagonal system.
