Maybe this note from the help file explains it?

The "because" in this quote is not the full story. The rest of the story
is that the code for the old "two radios on one device" cannot support
the newer device-per-radio configuration. I didn't do the coding work
required to get compression working in the newer mode because I didn't
know if anyone was using it. Assuming that explains the above, I can put
it on the "to-do" list.
