I think most Android devices don't have swap. They prefer to just kill background apps whenever RAM gets low.

Plenty of devices use zram, I think.

Ah, true, I suppose that technically is swap. But moving a gz file from RAM into tmpfs that gets swapped to zram that is stored in RAM, doesn't sound especially useful.
