It could be done, the issue is there’s not really any reason to. This isn’t getting streamed over a network, this is one cable going from one device to another, there’s no reason to try and save bandwidth. If you start compressing the image to be able to run at a higher frame rate or such, more complex scenes will literally display worse, due to not being incompressible in that way, which seems.. undesirable
