The link does not load for some reason, but tar itself does not compress anything. Compression can (and usually is) applied afterwards, but that’s an additional integration that is not part of Tape ARchive, as such.

Yes, I’m aware of how this works.

The important point is that zip and compressed tarballs have overlapping but not identical purposes.
