Good question! I have no idea, by the magic of EPP.

Sure. They are not.

Aaaa... I don't know what to say, I did none of the above, I simply downloaded both the .dmg and the .tar.gz from the Eclipse 2020-12-M2 page.

Yes, please do so, to compare the results:

I downloaded the files with Safari, as usual, and the files ended in ~/Downloads.
When I extracted Eclipse.app from the .dmg I used drag & drop from the mounted window into another window where ~/tmp was opened. I don't think this is unusual, actually this is what most users will do.
The quarantine attribute seems to be added by Finder when copying Eclipse.app from the .dmg to any folder, either in my user folders or in /Applications, after authentication.
macOS 10.15.7.
