Not only that, WinRAR is also well optimized and polished. 7-zip development has basically stopped because no one pays for it.

They just released a new beta last month. Doesn't seem very "stopped" to me.

Then call it slow development, not stopped. A stable a year ago and a beta a month ago is more active than most software out there, for which development literally stopped.

Or do you have any affiliation with WinRAR?

No affiliation, I just use both and compare.
