If you have Windows 10 or above, you should instead use NanaZip instead of 7-Zip-zstd. It is a massively improved fork of 7-Zip.

RAR 7.0 Released
Just saying that 7-Zip is great, both the compression (I use it for most of my data archival, because the higher compression ratio is worth the longer times to compress) and the software itself, pretty much what a good archival program on Windows should be like.
On other OSes, I guess I just use whatever is included with the distro, or something like PeaZip: https://peazip.github.io/
Curious to hear from RAR proponents.

What prompted this standardization of look? Im seeing it all over now. The fact that I could find two archive utility websites, as example should speak to its ubiquity.
