Ah OK. I was surprised to see Apple added support for *.7z file format
since it never had a third party archive program in this clean Big Sur
installation from the end of 2020. Also, it was a first time I had to
open one in this Mac.

https://anderegg.ca/2020/08/14/what-file-types-does-apples-archive-utility-open
was an interesting read.
https://fileinfo.com/software/apple/archive_utility doesn't even mention
..7z.
