Compressed files and scripts are not magic, so they are not what prevents flashing the main partition.
As stated plainly in many places, including the simple debricking thread which kubrick automates, the main partition is too big to flash with fastboot, and needs 'dd' (manually or in a script) to write firmware to that main partition.
If you wish to actually understand how and why this process works, read the "simple debricking" thread. And yes, public contributions are welcome to shared things like kubrick, if you find a RELIABLE "better way". Beware that kubrick frequently reports "success" even when flashing fails -- the only way to know is if it finished flashing much too soon. Better error detection would be a welcome fix, if you feel up to the challenge.
