why should it be lossless when presumably there is a lot of noise you don't really need to preserve

exactly, when you look at the data it looks entirely like noise without any signal, why transmit that in the first place. And why losslessly.
That's the thing. First principles thinking would say to look at that 200Mb/s and figure out what you can lose, before compressing.
