Not saying it will never happen but nope, I have no plans to do anything about this

Considering storage size is not so much an issue these days, I don't think it is so much an issue unless you are the kind of person that can't stand not having the "fullset" of everything, "just in case"...

On the opposite, compressed audio support has more important downsides, like extra CPU processing time required for real-time decompression (kind of the same reason why zipped CD images are not supported in emulators) and extra RAM usage, which on some platforms can be both quite limited (more than storage space) and could be used for more important things.
