Why not .iso file instead of .zip for Update Package Offline Installation?

2 views (last 30 days)
If we download an update from this link for example for r2019b release.
The only available download file is .zip file.
It takes time to unzip the archive first and then doing update.
Why not provide .iso files instead so that user can mount then update it easily?
I've created my own .iso using ImgBurn, mount it on drive F: using WinCDEmu, execute this command below and had a succesfull update.
update_installer.exe -updatepackage F:

Untitled2.png
It has a small overhead metadata, but considering with the uncompressed .zip itself has minuscule physical size difference, why bothers?

Sorry for the unclearness. I mean on possible applicable system, like windows for example.

I recommend that you open a technical support case on this topic. I can only provide speculation; Mathworks Support has access to the people who made the decision.
