If a .zip file contains all of the information of the original, just in less space, why does it have to be unzipped to access any of it?

I vacuum sealed all your shirts and put them in a suitcase so you can get them all onto the plane. I “compressed” them to get all the air out so I could pack all of them in. You won’t be able to wear them until you unpack at your destination.
Your clothes are the files, compressing the air out and vacuum sealing is the “zipping”, the fact they’re still your shirts just squished is the “all the information of the original”, and unpacking so you can wear your shirt is the “unzipping before access”.
That should about explain it.
