It makes a lot of sense. Gzip is ubiquitous and it is easier to throw compute at the problem than engineering time to ensure all the various little silo'd projects that are shoe-horned into the rendering of a single page will share the same memory for what happens to be a common string.

There's no "compute" other than some additional HTML involved. It would probably be more work and more brittle to have to refer to some authoritative "title" string somewhere in the HTML rather than keeping it close to where it's needed, because additional HTML attributes are cheaper than JS doing DOM lookups.
