It also removes some (all?) of thecomp[ression that was necessary for AM
analog....and adress listener fatique that occurrs with too much
processing/compression, etc.

Compression isn't and never has been "necessary" for AM analog

Compression isn't necessary for anything. Except it has become common use
expecially on AM where the mdoulation is the signal.

(and btw, it's also used on FM AND on IBOC).

It's used on almost all analog broadcasting. Very little on Iboc.

Wrong. HD signals are processed (the right term) for consistency and a
stable dynamic range. They just are not processed the same way analog is
processed.
