Though tar files without the gz are 10 years older than zip files (1979 vs 1989). Tar formats are officially on Windows since 2018 and were probably available from 3rd parties decades earlier.
I'm not convinced that most Windows / Mac / iOS / Android / Chromebook users know what a computer zip file is.
And even here many new members don't realise an epub (and its 1998 predecessor) is simply a renamed zip with rules as to what should be in it.
