It's not to broad, it's ok. That's the executable bit purpose. All .zip's
marked as executables, will be executable jars, as there are no other
language or tools using .zips as executables.
Take for example the ELF format. All binary executables are ELF, but there
are many other non-executable ELF files as well (shared libraries, object
files).
