Because it's fucking long and annoying to do. When I click the button on windows to go forward, my OS installs and boots. I am trying to spend 0 amount of time clowning myself in a terminal and I will not remember the commands by heart. I got too much in my brain
You're supposed to install programs through a package manager. This can be done through app stores that most of the newbie distros have or through a frontend GUI (something like Synaptic for Ubuntu-derived distros). Once you open the store/GUI, you just need to search for it. For my case, I just type "7zip" and a bunch of packages show up, including a bunch that has already been installed. In any case, the vast majority of distros already come with an archiver anyways.
You're trying to install it like you would on Windows, hunting for individual exe files from individual websites and installing them individually by double-clicking them, which is an absolutely terrible idea. And it's such a terrible idea that even Windows has ways to not install programs like Windows.

Also, I've never used a Linux distro that doesn't come with a functional archiver already installed.
