FWIW, Windows doesn't seem to come with a whole lot, and you need 3rd party software for a number of things, BUT that is also one of the primary reasons that I need to be able to quickly get snapshots from my Git repositories at home, and using zip format is convenient if I am in an extremely restrictive environment and cannot get a smaller XZ compressed snapshot :).
