It's not about a primarily GUI based OS not being able to do everything a traditionally command line based OS can do on the command line, it's about providing a solution that will work on either and remain portable. Whilst I agree with your objection to using pg_lzcompress,
Well, pg_lzcompress is in the backend for more than 6 years now, strange the objections arise now. However, a replacement for it might be a good idea, since apparently the fastest gzip algorithm is 3x faster for 10% better compression. TOAST write performance would probably profit significantly from a better algorithm.
I wonder what other use-cases exist for server side copy filters beyond compression.
