Interesting list. Any idea of the 'why' behind this?

Also what is a better alternative to 7zip

7-zip is infamous at this point for having security holes, and iirc it still is compiled without things like control flow integrity or stack checks. It at least has ASLR now.
For zips the windows built in support might be adequate, but I've yet to find a safe 7z unarchiver :(
I haven’t use it, but this fork of 7zip claims to have added some security features including Control Flow Guard and Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) Shadow Stack: https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip
