But compat.el is not :core right?  So Eglot cannot depend on it.

Also I think that's a bit beyond the purpose of compat, though
I don't oppose it. I really think package.el, like other package
managers, should learn to update itself.  It should be a :core
ELPA package itself.  But then that also requires this bug to
be fixed.
