I'm not trolling. I hate the situation more than you do, I just know why there is a situation.
Once again: Windows itself can make zips. 7z holds nothing over zip for the average user. People don't even know what compression is or that it can vary greatly. It's like with audio quality and teenagers or with AOL users and the internet. People simply don't know, and don't want to know. They'd rather download 50mb of uncompressed file than 2mb of 7z. They just want their zip.
If there is a way to make an amazing OSS compression type like 7z standard, please tell me how. I see that offering 7z types with OSS downloads is catching on, but OSSers already have 7z support.
