Well, in reality, all of these build tools for performance are design to deploy to a "static server" which is out of the control of the developer. That is why they process the images at build time rather than "on the fly"

Not saying that Page speed is wrong, but it is a niche tool that depends on the server side implementation. Some developers prefer to abstract "the server" from their architecture...
