I cannot confirm this.

Both VSCode & Atom are distributed as .zip files (VSCode-darwin-stable.zip, 
atom-mac.zip).

Safari does not always auto-extract archives, you need to enable "Open 'safe' 
files after downloading", which I don't, exactly because I want to control what 
happens with my downloads.
