Well, evidently, it is necessary ;-)

gunzip doesn't need -d, it knows by itself that it needs to
decompress.
No, I guess you have some version of gzip where the maintainers
decided not to change the behavior according to the name of the
program. Or maybe the MSYS port has a bug in comparing the program
name with "gunzip" (the .exe suffix needs to be stripped).

Yep, that's another way of solving this conundrum.
