Thomas,
A dmg (disk image) file does not help with the quarantine flag. It simply presents the downloaded application in a way that most Mac users expect to see.
I do have other emulators (VirtualC64, vAmiga) that are simply zip files. The user is then responsible for putting the application in the folder they want.
I cannot speak for Hatari Mac users, but a lot of normal Mac users get confused with where to copy their application. That’s why the DMG format with an alias (link) to the Applications folder can be helpful.
For a Linux user, this may seem like too much “hand holding”. However, it can prevent super problems later.

Why? Is it too cumbersome for a normal macOS user to extract ZIP file??

Apart from the nice grid, what's the advantage? The creation of the dmg
file looks way more cumbersome than just creating a zip? Does this help to
avoid the problem with the quarantine flag?
