Gimp will save all layer information plus undo plus other stuff in its own format. Export does what you want. I don't know Adobe products, but I could imagine Photoshop doesn't save to jpeg as default.
Why are you using Linux and Android in the first place?
That's correct. The default Save action in Photoshop saves the entire project in their own proprietary format, rather than simply saving as an image file. GIMP and Krita work similarly.
Also, .zip is just as readily available and we easy to use in Linux as .tar is.
what abt the others tho? GIMP ok that's understandable, although I do hate the fact that GIMP is shipped by default with Linux distros rather than Kolour, which is much more easier to use. Not all of us need to do complex image editing and those who want to will install it.

I don't really get where OP is coming from, tbh.
but zip is not the default and many a times you can't set a default in many applicatoins.
This is not just about gimp or file managers, many applications use formats which you can't use anywhere but on Linux most times.
Oh, by the way, you can open tar.gz on Android. No problem.
