Why do WS-10 use composite compressor casings? I'm pretty sure this is one of the only engines in production that actually uses this

Why not?
It's an odd design choice considering no other engine uses this not even successor engines like WS-15 and WS-19. I'm curious of the reasoning behind this and why it was not considered for any known future engine.
Just because other engines don’t use a solution doesn’t mean the design choice is “odd”. Do you have an engineering justification for why you think it’s odd or are you just making assumptions based on blind conformity?
This quite literally is the definition of "Odd" since it does not conform with all other known peers and is to my knowledge the only engine that uses this technology. I'm actually asking for an engineering justification on why this was used since this is an uncommon design hopefully someone knowledgeable can answer it.
Does the M88 not use a similar casing? You need to expand your horizons.
This is allegedly the WS-19. 129 kN, OPR of 32. I freaking called it (it's even 1 kN more than I expected). EJ270 reincarnated.
I have a couple explainations about the seemingly low T/W, but let's see...

BPR is superisingly high for a supposedly supercruise capable engine while TWR is very low
Err no. These numbers literally look like the earlier version of the WS-10.
