The average user should not have to learn about compressors to have a proper audio mix on a regular tv. It is way more reasonable to have the default mix be for the average home system, and require the enthusiast to select a different audio mix more suited to their system (which is asking a lot less of them than learning about compression). The main reason this doesn’t happen is because movie and television producers can’t be arsed to pay for multiple mixes.
