Revert "Leverage artifact transformations to unpack old test es distributions (#79827)" (#79909)

This reverts commit 664b82160be10f602a1a0eb9ee1d5ca1078e2881.
This might have caused oldEs090Fixture failures (see #79898)

We have not been able to reproduce the problem nor locally or on an centos8
We will revisit this advancement once we narrowed down the reasoning
of those failures
