That's not true.   I'm using the compose key as a meta key right now,
on a DECstation 3100.   I've been able to use the compose key as a
meta key even on a MicroVax running VMS.

You might have to run xmodmap to make the keyboard work that way, but
I don't remember that being a problem.   As far as I can remember from
before I'd set up my xmodmap, the compose key still worked as a meta
key - it just screwed things up if I happened to be in the wrong
window.

On VMS, I had to actually hack emacs to run in its own window, it
works fine now.
