Because sometimes you don't have a choice
You work with what you get.
When I do visual effects, I want to be the most integrated possible, as if it's part of the original footage (that can be super compressed, or not). I use the JPEG damage effect integrated in Resolve, but it doesn't have the same characteristics as glitches or "blocking" of a compressed mp4.
And sometimes I need to have very clean footage to look like it was recorded on a potato.
But yeah I would like to have more "native" effects in Resolve, and if there is a JPEG damage, I think that a realistic video compression damage effect has its place (with the glitches too, not just the level of compression).
And for your suggestion, yeah lol of course i could do that
,... then if it doesn't work well, re-render it again with new settings, and again lol.
Filming an old tv playing something to get the "organic" scanlines and old tv "effect" is not always possible, so instead an integrated plugin
The feature request is to have more tools in my/our tools kit
