It's because it's an appropriate compression - just like xz can be? Not sure what you're actually suggesting here.
- yorwba 8y agoThe suggestion is to design an application-specific format that avoids storing redundant data in the first place. When that's an option at all it gives you higher compression than any general-purpose compression algorithm can achieve.
