The use case is when you have a reverse proxy (Nginx, Apache, others...) between your nextjs serveur and your visitors.
If you want the compression to be done by the reverse proxy instead of NextJS, you have to turn it off in next.config.json
(see the Compression paragraph in my PR on self-hosting in the docs)
It's a niche parameter, but it's necessary if any user want some level of control over how the nextJS server is running.
(We could eventually generalize it by passing a dict of NextJS parameters rather than specific ones like that.)
