I agree with you about what Z should do, but there is an additional
reason.
The meaning of Z is to compress or uncompress. Extracting an archive is
a different operation; it is semantically incoherent for Z to extract
an archive.
If we want a Dired command to extract archives, we should add one.
It can handle .tgz files as well as .tar files and other archive types.
