If you configure maxgui when installing with maxscale 2.5 tarball, the web browser does not display normally. However, if I install it at RPM, my web browser will display normally, but why doesn't it display normally when I install it with tarball?

This sounds like a bug in the tarball version of MaxScale. Please open a bug report about this on the MariaDB Jira under the MaxScale project.
Based on the output of the tarball installation, I suspect that the GUI files that the REST API serves aren't in the right place: by default they should be located in /usr/share/maxscale/gui/. If you copy the files there, I suspect the GUI will start working.
