I would not implement decompression myself, I have better things to
do. Thus I would a library for this. A library however is a
dependency, that must be build installed and delivered (not all the
world runs Linux with smart packaging systems) and licences have to be
checked. It makes sense for teh developer to try to reduce such
dependencies by agreeing on one standard compression format.
