The policy is centered around being able to freely view any code and/or data an addon uses. Putting an addon into a .ZIP file does not violate this because every computer on the internet can open and extract a .ZIP file without any trouble for the end user. Opening a .LUA file is just as easy if not easier. They are just plain text and can be read by any text editor. Requiring to dig through your code to figure out your compression algorithm is a different story.
