That is the default choice, but users are given a prompt to choose an
arbitrary directory. Note that this only applies to the ZIP extractor in
Explorer; other archive programs have their own behavior. I agree with
you on having a top-level directory in an archive, but MS figures users
are more likely to be annoyed with files scattered around the current
directory than a nested directory. Unfortunately, many archives out in
the wild have a top-level directory while many others don't, so one can
rarely ever be certain how a given archive is organized without opening it.

Not at all.

Typically, that is the case because files without extensions are not
registered by default.
