Why is my data file more than twice the size of my automatic backup files (as viewed in Finder)?

Per Finder, my data file (the package) is ~86MB, and my automatic backup files are all ~36MB. I can think of some reasons for this, but they'd be speculative, and I'd feel better if someone in the know answered.

It’s because the backups are compressed zip files. That’s why it takes a few seconds to save the backup.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s1
