It’s primarily meant for people who have slow connections. If you’re downloading a game over DSL or satellite (which is often the only thing available unless you’re in an urban/suburban area) then the 5GB of extra compression could be a huge time difference. It’s also true for metered connections, where you have to pay by the GB, or where you have a data cap.

It's pretty relevant for people who archive too because it can add up to terrabytes of difference if you're backing up everything.

Can confirm, 5gb extra is about 9 more hours of downloading, presuming everything goes well
