If we're talking actual builds then zip files are perfectly fine as long as the revs make chronological sense.

I'm not. I'm talking about in companies where dev A wants dev B to do some work, but they don't use git or any kind of source control, so you email over a cursed ZIP file, then dev B does the work and sends it back with a different name. It's a highly cursed situation.

Yeah that's bad.
