If it's Kiwix Desktop, then I'm afraid I can't test that, as I don't have a physical Mac, and Browser Stack doesn't allow me to install executables. However, it might be worth raising an issue here.

I meant the Kiwix dump (https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_all_nopic.zim – careful, 60GB!).
At a first glance, the Wikimedia XML dump does not look substantially different from what Kiwix/ZIM does with compressed HTML: They're both compressed (bz2 for the Wikimedia dump, zstd or LZMA for Kiwix/ZIM), and both compress multiple files at once, so inter-file redundancy should hopefully be significantly reduced.
HTML seems a bit more verbose than the Mediawiki syntax (plus the XML header for each article), but I'd be surprised if that actually accounted for a 3x difference in size.
Then again, Kiwix seems to have experimented with shared dictionary brotli compression, which supposedly yields an >2x improvement: https://github.com/openzim/libzim/issues/144
I wonder if their current zstd implementation also uses shared dictionaries. If not, that might just be the reason: If ZIM compression chunks are much smaller than the bz2 streams of the Wikimedia dumps, there would still be a lot of redundancy between chunks.
