Well My Guns compress fine in cold as well, but it's primarily due to the fact I use high performance grease.
I know for a fact the poorer quality grease gets very stiff in cold temps and affects compression.

G&P isn't GREAT out of the box for sure, it's half decent, I'd say on par with CA for performance.
I've seen them break first game, but shimmed out of box they consistently last a full season unless the piston strips. And I've seen one last 3 years and 300,000 rounds with zero maintenance and zero breakdowns.
But keep in mind people who buy G&P's don't buy them for the internals, they buy them for the EXTERNALS.
Internals are easier to upgrade than externals, and people who buy G&P's immediately put $350 upgrade kits in them, because it's honestly one of the best platforms to upgrade.

But I do agree the KA is a REALLY excellent alternative to G&P.
