Considering that xz support is available even on niche systems like
Amiga OS and BeOS (via p7zip if not by other means) and xz-utils proper
build even on DOS, OpenVMS and other systems, how hard can it be to
obtain an xz decompressor on Android, Debian, or Ubuntu¹?  (¹About which
there was a note somewhere else in this thread that there is a conflict
between xz-utils and lzma-utils... That's basically because the former
supersede the latter.)

The name confusion between xz-utils and xzip can be avoided if you
search for the package in a package manager which shows package
categories (archivers vs. games).
