Don’t get me wrong, this is cool, but is there some reason not to extract a .zip file locally?

I’ve been using Linux, UNIX for a long time so I don’t know if it’s a Windows thing or what.

A compacted archive could be used as an attack vector.

Zip Bombs
Code execution through a vulnerability in the extracting algorithm

Both of them are valid for any OS.

My android file explorer don't support .RAR or 7z archive. It's only FOSS File Explorer
