Default compression fittings on plastic pipe

I've got a T junction under my sink which has a slight weep.

Two plastic pipes with plastic stiffening end inserts fit into a
conventional brass compression fitting with olives. There's a T off to
a washing machine in copper pipe.

Is it usual to run plastic pipes into a regular compression fitting
like this? If so are there any tips for making it seal properly?
