I feel there is an unnecessary extra step to extract using right click menu. It is best if the user clicks "Extract" and 1 click extracts with the default, which is "Extract folder here". Current behavior does not extract on click, it opens a submenu with 3 more options. Just a faster approach to extracting.
No extra clicks are necessary, just a little bit of mouse movement to navigate to "Extract archive here." Right-click menus are already advanced functionality for most users.

If we want a one-click extract, we would have to add another item at the top level of the menu. So instead of having this: > Some menu item > Some other menu Item > Etc > Extract > Extract here > Extract to... > Extract here, autodetect subdirectory We would have this: > Some menu item > Some other menu Item > Etc > Extract here > Extract to > Extract to other location... > Extract here, autodetect subdirectory It would make the top-level menu have an additional item.
One click extract is probably what I am suggesting. I think it's quicker.
