The gzip compression is unnecessary since the tarball is used as an intermediate build artifact and is never transferred over the network in normal operation. Removing it speeds up both the fetch and build phases, and saves a few electrons. Additionally, gzipping can circumvent the scanner that checks for /nix/store paths in fixed-output derivation outputs, violating that invariant.
