i know, but after you add a compression method to it, tar still doesn't compress. Only the other, actual compression algorythm you add to it, like gz, xz, bz2, zst, rz, etc. I do know how modern tar works, but no matter how modern it is, it still can't compress files. It only calls a file compressor at most

What does it matter? The OP never implied tar itself compresses, just that the mentioned command could try to decompress regardless of what happens underneath.
