Double zipped issue with macOS artifact download about app HOT 2 CLOSED

Yes it's just that GitHub CI zips everything...

The deploy scripts should produce ready to go files (so in this case a zip of the .app file, or an exe installer on windows) so they can be run everywhere (like our own desktops) and with predictable results. The file produced by the scripts can be uploaded to a custom url or sent to a store for instance, and that's not going to work if you let GitHub CI do the last step on it's own.
What's done after that by GitHub CI or any other CI system is kind of unpredictable anyway, and trying to bypass their behavior is just a waste of time and efforts. CI systems come and goes, their settings and behavior changed over time, it's just constant maintenance anyway.

Also end users will never pick up builds from here, but should use the release page with manually uploaded and curated packages of the application.
