Because the client sets the document-format for the job and then
passes it on to whatever server is printing it.

An alternative is to simply wrap the pstops filter with your script,
and then (on the server only) provide your .convs file that claims to
filter from application/postscript to application/vnd.cups-postscript
faster (lower cost) than pstops.
