That's an artificial non-factual, poorly conceived way of recreating a false "soundstage" which will sound false in any decent system ... totally unrelated to the recreation of any soundstage based on the actual recorded event.
That's the problem with most recordings: recreation of the soundstage, that doen't exist anymore, only on special vintage recordings or some demonstration stuff. It's almost ALWAY's a false artificial soundstage made by some "engineer" to please the taste of the moment, to comply to the newest fad (surround etc). Ever listened to recordings from 1930 up to now ? Every year a new sound artificially made by postprocessing. Listen to the variety of echochambers, the copycats thereafter. Sound for sound's sake.
Dynamic compression on hardrock, grunge is not for technical reasons, it's a stylistic approach for the kids, they think it's cool. Remove the compression and there is nothing left, just amateurs.
Happy listening, have a nice weekend.
