I mean that's what GUI archivers do when you open the file.

So tar is only useful for some kind of automatic workflows where archives are processed automatically. Like what package managers do.

    The only thing I've done with a GUI archiver for the past 20+ years is right click on a file and select "extract to here". But more commonly I just extract things on the command line, without any automatic processing.
