This is because of the following reasons:
- Many build scripts force disable it anyways by settings OVERRIDE_TARGET_FLATTEN_APEX env flag so why bother rendering differences in official and local builds [1][2].
- Compressed apex causes issues with OTA on A only devices [3].
- Compressed apex may cause issues on devices which do not meet kernel requirements [4].
- Highly anticipated mainline modules update aka Play System updates is limited to OEMs/Pixels only [5], we don't do such things on AOSP; shipping Pixel prebuilt apex components feels somewhat unethical.
