Comment:

 > It would be nice to have an option to change the compression from inside
 the control panel instead of having to figure out how to code in a filter
 to change it

 As one of the philosophies is 'decisions, not options', this is not
 something we'd add an option for in the admin. There are enough plugins
 that do this though if needed.

 See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/22/proposal-increase-the-
 default-image-compression-in-wordpress/ for why the default compression
 was lowered to 82.
