    I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.

      Because of your comment, I did a quick google search and pretty much every source says that .tar.gz is also pretty ancient and not that good (from a compression point of view). For better compression, you can use the xz or 7zip formats. The former is more used on Linux, if that’s what you’re using.

        But isn’t that’s given with tgz too?
        Except of course Windows iirc

            You can do it on iOS using Siri Shortcuts.
            I don’t get how they add all these formats to Shortcuts but only Zip into the file app…
