If you don't want compression just remove the mount option from  /etc/fstab  - note it 
needs to be removed from the / line, since that line is really a "remount" and 
is what applies compression file system wide. The compression option on /home is just an 
artifact of the installer. There isn't per subvolume compression as a mount option.

does it harm to have compress=zstd:1 on subvolumes in the fstab ?
like this:
UUID=2ab6e75b-4e3c-4a9d-a329-431178fdd0e7 /          btrfs 
subvol=ROOT,compress=zstd:1 0 0
UUID=2ab6e75b-4e3c-4a9d-a329-431178fdd0e7 /home      btrfs 
subvol=HOME,compress=zstd:1 0 0
UUID=2ab6e75b-4e3c-4a9d-a329-431178fdd0e7 /home/DATA btrfs 
subvol=DATA,compress=zstd:1 0 0

compression is set per subvolume. I don't know why Chris said that. The btrfs docs say it's per mount.
