Why? Is there a technical reason?

Yes (-ish). The compression level is now a part of the pdf back-end
structure because with that, the back-end does not have to access
eqtb all the time. It would be possible to do a synchronization
whenever the value in eqtb changes, but:

Sometimes it makes sense to have some parts uncompressed
(e.g. for debugging purposes, ...)

You could just be brave and not compress the pdf at all.

Best wishes,
