You can make any claim you want like: "The end user should

I have never seen extracting into the directory as a supported
upgrade path for anything except the simplest of applications
and a few PHP projects that supply a migration script.
Well, any other installer would have done the required cleanup
in such a case.
One of the reasons to extract a zip instead of using an installer
is that you want to replace only certain files. There's nothing
reasonable about this argument.
