Whether the compression is precalculated to save processing power or done on the fly doesn't matter whe making the decision to apply it. Ffmpeg is a general purpose tool that is often used to transparently convert files to another format without the user knowing it, for example, when loading them into a website. You can only pick compression if you know the playback conditions, perhaps the type of device that will be used.
It's a good thing that this parameter is not rejected for other formats and can exist in conversion preset always.
I heard they have some form of compression in USAC too. But it probably can't be a gain for every block if they want to target low bitrates without bytes to spare.
