The quarantine bit is added when people download the archive via the browser. It does not apply to those downloading with another tool eg curl/wget.
It’s possible that your users are accustomed to downloading with one of those tools, or are expanding archives with a brew-installed tar (which might not support the propagation of the quarantine bit). This has been the default since macOS 10.5 so it’s not a new issue.
