But isn't that's given with tgz too?
Except of course Windows iirc

Yep, but Windows is still the majority right now... And i'm sure there are a lot of people out there that don't have 7zip installed (why doesn't MS include their own implementation already ?)

Windows, Android, iOS do not open them by default.

You can do it on iOS using Siri Shortcuts.
I don't get how they add all these formats to Shortcuts but only Zip into the file app...
