I would prefer not see hex dumps of things like zips in preview. If I wanted to look at a zip in hex I'd open it with a suitable program via Open With... But in 30 years of using them I can honestly say I have never wanted to look at the hex representation of a zip file. I stopped doing that sort of thing when I decided back in the 1970's that MVS/SNA didn't have a secure future and I started dabbling in what was happening at places like Bell, Xerox and DEC.
I could relate to that too.

ps : to be fair - there was an option to turn off hex previews
