If the world was stuck with low bandwidth that would probably happen. However, you might have heard that "necessity is the mother of invention"
In other words, there is no need to invent binary parsing browsers for PCs since there is not need for it. Furthermore is would require that web servers have yet another process layer to copile web content, which would slow down the server. In which case there would be more of an expense to upgrade the hardware, or add external hardware, to do the binary compilation. Browsers that parse HTML as well as binary data would have to be redistributed all over the world. It's an undertaking without necessity. The nearest thing to it is compressed www data delivery, commonly called 'acceleration'.
