I'm not aware of standards language mandating it, but build tools generally do compress wheels and sdists.
If you're thinking of zipapps, those are not actually common.
I was talking about using zipfile as a generic file format, instead of open and close.
I'm afraid I don't understand specifically what you're referring to. Maybe you could show some code citations of popular projects doing it?
