The .zip TLD sucks and it needs to be immediately revoked

The harm I see is that many chat applications will do inline previews of websites, even when simply pasting the domain name.

Though, I think the solution here is for apps to stop doing that.

That's assuming apps and libraries even start doing that for .zip (which is unlikely), and is not in any way unique to .zip.

I can confirm (as the owner of a domain which is a common filename), your comment is overly charitable (and it is indeed not unique to .zip).
