I feel like this will only make life easier for everyone. I hate Windows as much as the next guy but this will help open archive formats be more accessible.

On macOS, the default double click behavior just unzips the archive into a folder of the same name with no additional interface. I always thought that was a nicer implementation than opening the archive to browse the files how Linux distros usually do (and maybe Windows; I’m not a frequent Windows user). It’s probably what 90% of people want 90% of the time. Why not just make that the default and put the other use cases behind the right click menu?
Windows does basically what you think it does.
And I'd rather it not unzip the contents of a file that I haven't looked at yet. I also sometimes only need one or two files from the zip folder and don't want to unzip the entire thing.
