7z was added to Win11 as well as .zip ... noticed it on my assigned work computer.

Partly, windows defender can open and scan the contents of many archives, but extraction of several popular formats isn’t possible

  That makes no god damn sense. That means that the code to extract exists on the file system, but only Windows Defender uses it.

    It doesn’t “make no goddam sense”. it’s just not convenient for you. There are so many potential “valid” reasons. Licensing? Bad optics?

They did. One can compress natively to TAR and 7z.
