Most wouldn't. But even for browsers with SVG support, MediaWiki thumbnails to PNG (because the browser SVG rendering is, at present, still very slow and rather buggy).
Could be feature creep but I was just thinking those few whose browsers do support tiff might for whatever reason prefer thumbnails which are in fact a scaled tiff.
I couldn't think of a good reason for wanting that. Direct access to the full TIFF, yes - but you have that by clicking through the description page to the file. That will trigger the browser's native rendering, just as with svg. I expect that for the things for wich you want native tiff support, you would want to have full resolution anyway.
