I'm not quite sure why you'd expect that -- the doc string of these
commands say "In archive mode, extract this entry of the archive into
its own buffer."

In any case, in Emacs 28, there's a new `C' command that'll extract
archive members and write them to disk.  I've now adjusted the command
so that it'll respect the marked files.
