That's not a good enough reason, IMO. Emacs 25 is
not very old, and it's unlikely that changing the
_default_ binding of this command would impact users
negatively.
Keys involving character `c' are used, in Dired, for
"copy", "comment", and "change" (marks). Keys for
compressing/uncompressing use char `z'.
And we use lowercase chars in Dired for other kinds
of things than `dired-do-*'.
In keeping with the use of char `z' for compressing
and uncompressing. Dired+ uses `M-z' for
`dired-do-compress-to'. I suggest that vanilla
Dired do likewise.
