Throwing my two cents in here..

We don't want to have to bundle a version of gzip (or related) inside of an already expensively large bundle of proprietary code in the browser. This is truly something that could be deferred to the browser runtime with hints or a native API. After all, the primary reason to compress something is to save bandwidth.
