Keep in mind that a file extension is nothing but sugar added to the file name to make file type recognition easier for the user. Your browser does nothing but save the file as it is under the given file name whereas your image editing program does (usually) check the file extension to see what file type it should use to save the pixel information.
Another tidbit: Most file types can be recognized by the first few bytes in the actual file data.
Back to topic, I suppose TGE meant an option to download the textures as seperate files, not put together on one single sheet. It might be inconvenient for users to have to cut them apart. However, same goes for sprite sheets so I don't see a problem here. Hosting tectures as sheets is more effective as you have the actual data and the "preview" in one thing and don't need to host the same data twice.
