Debian has file-roller recommend unar (which I believe supports rar
and 7zip) but Ubuntu only suggests it since it's not in main and pulls
in the gnustep base.

I'm hesitant to be the only Ubuntu flavor to include p7zip and the
7zip format doesn't seem very popular.

If I had to summarize what I believe the GNOME3 Desktop is, I would
say "usability through simplicity." Gimp just doesn't fit in to that
as an app that would be important enough to install by default.
Shotwell is what we include for the typical use case of editing
pictures.
