Because both ways are used. Microsoft relies on file names, linux on the first bytes of the file.

I don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.
I think it makes sense from a programming view. When you have a document, you can add all the media files and pack them together as one archive. Then the program sets the filename to .docx so everyone knows that they need an office program to open that file.
For the users, all you need to know is what program can open which files. If every document would be named .zip, you would have no idea if it was a spreadsheet or slides for your presentation.
OP refers to the fact that you can rename some filetypes to .zip and unpack them.
Notable examples microsoft office files (.docx) or android apps (.apk).
Counterexample are media files (mp3, mp4, jpg).
It’s quite obvious from the context

I don’t think the noveau drivers are ready for gaming.
It is good that they are easier to read, because they are about as long as the first book of The lord of the rings.
You’re right, my comment was oversimplified.
