Questions

Why did my file barely shrink?

If it is mostly text, there is little to remove — text is already tiny. Big savings come from photos and scans, which the image strategies target.

Does compressing lose quality?

Lossless restructuring does not. Image downsampling does, by design, which is why you see a preview at your chosen setting before saving.
