The reason is simple -- to make the archive easily and without confusion
useable worldwide. Should you try to unpack archive of your design on, say,
Linux, you'll get a pretty mess. OTOH, should you unpack there "mine", you'll
get only some trash in /tmp, where it does not matter, and the real files
will be unpacked without any nonsense around.

I'd prefer ._file, personally.
This still leaves the issue of Finder metadata, of course...
