When w11 announced that they were adding native support for rar, 7z, etc, it occurred to me that android also doesn’t support these and I found it really weird

I keep pondering why Android has blobs for CIFS/SMB but not NFS, too.
Still haven’t found a legit reason why.
Google isn’t exactly excited about the concept of local files. They would prefer you to keep everything in their online services.
If you need support for these, then installing a separate file manager app is your best bet.
I’m using this one: https://f-droid.org/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/
(No idea, though, if it supports unpacking RAR archives.)
