I agree too that Windows should not be a special case. However, I'll prefer uncompressed files on all platforms (except perhaps those that are too constrained.) It is true that we can use zgrep instead of grep and other text-searching tools have switches for supporting compressed files, but having to use those is an inconvenience anyway and just solve the text-searching task.
