If I may inject some possibly-irrelevant fact into this
discussion... gzip (or rather, the ``deflate'' compression algorithm
and the libz file format) has been adopted into a number of formal
standards.  It's likely that it will remain with us for a long time.
For those of us who eschew bloatware, it continues to be entirely
adequate.
