right? And spherical VR displays, too?

No, this is not yet the reason to expose transformations to clients.
You are only suggesting to make the protocol a huge deal more complex
and restrictive, to optimize a tiny detail prematurely, again. On a
regular desktop, the transformed case is very rare, and even more rare
on cases where the image quality would actually matter that much.

The clients don't *HAVE* to do the transform. It's just that they *CAN*.

And yes transformed images are used a lot, for icons and desktop overviews, and for full-screen.
