    It’s like when .zip was popular I guess?

    Tar.gz is a two step thingy too (maybe under the hood 7z is too) so the extraction process always seems long?

        Yeah I know, and it’s only useful rarely as if you can extract directly to the target, you don’t need to have an intermediate copy (or do intermediate copying). Really nitpicking ofc.

      Eh? ‘tar xvf foo.tar.gz’ is technically 2 steps I guess, but that’s pretty well hidden from the user.
