In theory. In practice nothing implements this.

But in any case, even if your client did support this and the server supported it, we still need HTTP for other things. I don't think it's particularly a "gotcha". HTTP is also stateless, which has lots of benefits for us.

MySqlConnector (the most popular .NET library for MySQL, and the one that I authored) has supported protocol compression for many years: https://github.com/mysql-net/MySqlConnector/issues/31.
