This is complete nonsense.
Although compression does not make much sense when copying local files, it
is a programs duty to do as the user desires. Simply ignoring a flag -
even with warning - despite the user explicitly providing it - is the
worst thing a developer can do.
Do you want to force developers and "power users" to do their testing of
rsync internals over the network just because it overrides their will?
rsync is a powerful tool and as such users should learn about it when
using it. Options that make sense in their current use case is one element
of this learning.
Besides, the idea that compression does only make sense in trade-off
situations for network performance is basic knowledge that is not so much
subject to rsync.
I propose closing this bug report as wontfix.
