I think that at least since win10 there is zip embedded in windows, it’s just not 7z

it goes much further back than that, think it was xp

the issue is that it sucks, it's at least 10x slower than 7 zip, maybe more, showing lots of files/folders freezes the explorer gui on w10 and it only supports .zip (which could've been changed on w11, never used, never tried)

Zip support has been in Windows since XP.

In 11 (and maybe later 10 updates) they added 7z and rar support.
