Not sure about its LZH support. .lzh and .rar are somewhat rare (overall). A newer system trying to be "free/libre" won't need them, but it's still worth keeping in mind for legacy data. (RAR is still quite popular overall and constantly updated, but it's much less used in DOS circles. WinRar has a newer archive format that the old DOS tools can't support.)
