You're right that gRPC C++ doesn't compress arbitrary metadata: we get some
performance advantages from being able to predictably compress important
protocol metadata, and we've found that compressing arbitrary metadata
interferes with this - it's usually not compressible enough, and when it is
it's too computationally intensive to do a good job. We've considered ways
to improve that, but right now the best paths forward likely need a
breaking API change.
