Wild guess (without research or deep knowledge)
sqlite uses zip internally for compression, e.g. like JARs in Java
For this it needs to modify zip files anyway.
So why not expose the capability in an SQL syntax
Ok, I did a quick search. This is not the reason. The idea was really to provide a data centric approach handling zip files
