gz stands for gzip and is a form of compression (like rar/zip ).
tar stands for a tape archive. It is basically a box that holds the
files. So you need to "unzip" and then "open the box".
Normally programs like WinZip / WinRar / 7-zip will do both in one step
so you do not need to. Not sure what program you are using...
I'm not sure what 7-zip you're referring to, because I use 7-zip and
it's always been a two-step process for me...
(Though I can't say I've looked through the preferences dialog for a
"extract .tar.gz files in one go" setting.)
