Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that's what your computer has installed and they're like "Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip" even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z

    Nnnnnnnnnope. I give them the 7z and tell them where to get 7Zip. If they have WinRAR isntalled, then they also likely hide their extensions, and won't even know they received a more modern archive. If all they have is Windows's WinZip implementation, then they'll need to install 7Zip or something. You don't want to install it? Then I guess you're not getting the file you so desperately want, because I'm not resending it in a .zip. 7z for the win.
