You cannot assume that everything in Emacs does so.
And certainly other programs run from Emacs, including such
simple things as `grep', depending on the platform, do not
necessarily do that.

"Installed"? What does that mean for you? Perhaps you are
assuming that what it means for you is what it means for
everyone?
For me, on MS Windows, it means just downloading and
unpacking a zip archive that includes executables, source
files, etc.
And no, zip archives distributed for Emacs releases (and
pretests) on Windows have not had the .el files gzipped.
