Why did python include ZSTD? are people passing around files compressed with this algorithm? It's the first I've ever heard of it.

Zstd is used in a lot of places now. Lots of servers and browsers support it as it is usually faster and more efficient than other compression standards. And some Linux distributions have packages, or even the kernel that can be compressed with it too, which is preferred in some situations where decompression speed matters more than storage cost.
