Because they want the Si to have more power. Compression Ratio is only one small puzzle piece to what goes into an engine. With today's modern technology engines can both be monitored much more closely, and controlled much more easily.

A real way to know how reliable these cars is to go into the forced induction section and find out how many of those peep's have lowered their compression ratio.

That was something that used to be an absolutely must do.
