Who unzips archives before you even know what’s in it? That’s madness.
You can do that in Windows and Linux, it’s just part of the right-click context menu, which makes far more sense to me.

Most importantly on KDE you have “extract archive here, autodetect subfolder”. Having Ark be a different program than Dolphin is also the right choice as archives aren’t directories.
Also if you ever fucking make a tarball that doesn’t have a top-level directory and exactly one directory at the top level everyone officially hates you.
(And yes for some unfathomable reason kde calls directories folders)

A folder stores files and you look up the location of things with the help of a directory. Folders (or archives, or partitions, or storage), have directories to allow you to access the files within.
Just because Windows mushed those definitions together doesn’t mean that they’re the same.
