The command line isn’t necessary, but it is the common thing between most linux OSes, and so it still gets recommended. I bet if you look up “how to unzip zip file linux” the first answer will use the command line, and not any distro-specific right-click options, because it’s more applicable.
(I tried it, there was one prominent “try the context menu” answer, and the rest were command line. Granted that answer was at the top… under Google’s AI summary of several command line options)
