don't think it is such a pain point that it's a frequent issue to prevent further use

I don't have statistics, but:

• I myself didn't do any research specifically on this matter, and only learned of these problems through osmosis by randomly reading various threads on Reddit's r/all

• I installed one single game from a repack by FitGirl

• my experience right away exactly mirrored that of which I've read previously

I don't have problems with FitGirl using this compression, in fact I find it fascinating that such an algorithm exists. However, it obviously doesn't meet standards to which a commercial publisher or storefront are held.
