Of course, creating a zip file by yourself is no problem. It just comes down to lazyness: Do I want to manually zip and unzip a file every time bevor I use it? Even a script is not really convenient. It is *much* more convenient if this could be done by Scribus in the background, just as it is done with .odt or .docx files. If speed/size is an issue, you could always give the option to save it the current way, uncompressed and in a folder.
