Neither of those systems come with a compiler out of the box either.  On
MacOS, it takes less than 1.5 seconds to install lzip:

$ time brew install lzip

If you have trouble unpacking .tar.lz files - just point your browser to

https://github.com/eggert/tz/tree/2016g

and get whatever individual files you need.
