Smartscreen works like a quasi default/deny mechanism. Until a file has built up a good reputation, it is denied. So that's good. And if Windows Defender can make better use of SmartScreen, then that's an advantage for Windows Defender. You could say it is an advantage that was earned gratuitously, but it's still there -- at least for the average Joes in Western countries who download their files the regular way.
As I said, with a real default/deny setup, Smartscreen becomes less important.
EDIT: Windows SmartScreen will work with zip files, if you use Bandizip.
