IIUC HAR files contain an awful lot of data that you would not want to end up being stored in a web page archive:
- irrelevant http headers (including cache control) taking up too much space
- auth data / cookies, credentials, personal infos that you don't want saved for privacy and security reasons especially if you want to share your archive.
HAR is also not very efficient for this use case: it's a list of request represented in json. A folder representation is far better, for storage efficiency as well as for reading the archive (you basically need to implement some custom logic that rcan read the page replaying the requests).
