I did not think that Calibre had a 'normal usage' for .rar files. The only time I ever see them is if I add a .rar file which does not contain a single book format so Calibre adds it unchanged as it does not know what format to use.
One reason for preferring .rar over something like .7z is that .rar is recognised as valid for drag-and-drop whereas .7z s not, which makes the .7z format more cumbersome to use.
