If I need to compress stuff, it’s either to move a folder around (to places which may not have a niche compression tool, so ZIP wins), or to archive something long-term, where it can take a while to compress. I don’t see the advantages of this, since the compression output size seems quite mediocre even if it’s supposedly fast (compared to what implementations of the other formats?)
