Since when is simply copying a font file into a zip archive embedding?
Sure, you can stretch the meaning of any word and find new scenarios but
that's not the commonly understood way of doing font embedding (like in
a PDF). Unzipping a chosen file from that zip is different from font
extraction.

An embedded font (an actual part of the document it is embedded in) is
not bit-identical to its original: the act of embedding will transform
the font to make it usable from within that document. If extraction is
attempted then the resulting file will not be the same as the original
upstream font.
