The dependency on XZ has always been optional in rpm, it's a matter of distro 
choice and preferences.
Older Fedora and RHEL used XZ compression on the payload, but both default to 
zstd nowadays. But, because XZ compressed content is quite common still, 
disabling it would probably be seen as an unacceptable regression. Maybe in a 
few years...
