What's the purpose of this? Applications typically want a trade-off between graphics memory and bandwidth usage and quality, i.e. they offer a low-quality setting for users with slower hardware that uses texture compression and a higher quality setting for users with high-end hardware that can use uncompressed textures. Your patch gives them the worst of both: The quality of compressed textures at the memory and bandwidth usage of uncompressed textures.
