You're using Nautilus 3.22 which isn't in Ubuntu yet. If you need something besides .tar.xz, .zip and .7z, you can just use Archive Manager which is currently still installed by default. I think .tar.xz and .zip should work for most people and having a very large list of file types to choose from isn't that great.

This can obviously still be done through the CLIs of the various tools, however it would be useful to have such features accessible as they used to be through the GUI. Perhaps this is a side-effect of making all Nautilus activities central to the Nautilus GUI? Because I think I remember it possibly opening another program in the past which had these options. Regardless of what it and how it did it in the past, these are vital options which are missing and I think should be added back for ease of use. I am fine with using the CLI, but many users are not.
