It's far more easy to unmount the disk image than to erase a decompressed archive.
Not really. On MacOS, you just drag both to the trash.
Moreover sometimes .zip and others are sometimes badly make and don't create a folder to handle all decompressed file and then you have a lot of files totaly disorganized in the folder where you have your .zip.
Well, I'd call that a bug that could easily be fixed. On MacOS X, for example, StuffIt automatically wraps unpacked files in a folder of the name of the archive (minus the suffix) if there's more than one item at the root level of the archive.
Also, most developers on MacOS X themselves take care to wrap the files in a folder before compressing them. I agree that this isn't possible with disk images simply because a disk by itself is like a directory. But if I was asked to fix this or explain to non-programmers what a disk image is, I would choose the former.
