You are also running native machine code, not the C source files. And
yet you want M-. to show you the C source code, not the disassembly of
the machine instructions. Same with *.el.gz files: they are the exact
_source_code_ of what you are running.

In the case of C sources there's no alternative if you install from
the Git checkout (as opposed to from a source tree produced by
unpacking the tarball). At the time, some people argued for
installing the C sources at "make install" time, which I think would
be taking things too far. Especially as installing allows you to
delete the source tree, in which case there would be no TAGS to
support M-. anyway.

The beauty of TAGS is that you control what will be in it: by
specifying the file names to be submitted to the 'etags' program.
Only what you submit to it will be in TAGS.
