I do not agree here - you're not asking hosting providers to do research on
every aspect of HTTP.
Why do you think that correct mime-types or file security setup is OK to
have as default while correct compression is not?
I understand that httpd as a product can be tweaked in millions of different
ways, but see no reason why it can't adhere to quality and best practices by
default.

BTW, root-owned files of your typical operating system have some things
configured by default and distro-packager (for example Red Hat, in case of
Linux) is taking care of best practices for performance, security and so on
while sys-admins are configuring them further for users to be secure and so
on.
