Some archive managers like File Roller (which is the default on at least Ubuntu and Debian with Cinnamon desktop environment) rely on this naming convention. It would also make clear to the user that the file is an xz-compressed tar-archive.
This applies to the Whonix libvirt images, which are named like Whonix-Gateway/Workstation-x.x.x.x.x.libvirt.xz
