They're Metadata specific for Macs.
If you download a third party compression tool they'll probably have an option somewhere to exclude these from the zips but the default tool doesn't Afaik.

Thanks! Hmm, never thought of looking at 7zip's settings to see if it can autodelete/not unpack that stuff. I'll see if I can find such a setting!

You can definitely check, but I would expect the option to exist when the archive is created rather than when it's extracted
