Look, where does this idea come in that compression "as normally considered, does not generate entropy"? The inlet of a supersonic aircraft or a ramjets/scramjet performs non-isentropic (shock-based) compression. You're coming up with your own definition of compression that is inconsistent with gasdynamics practice.

Considering compression to be isentropic is just nailing down what compression means enough for its heating to be actually definable. Otherwise, the argument is just "if there's compression occurring, all the heating must be considered as being due to compression" which is just bullshit.
