How are we supposed to know which zip file is backup file? There might be very many of them there.

How about just checking for any zip files in the site files.

I am a bit afraid that just telling "you have 297 zip files in site files, please make sure those are not backup files" will not help much

Resolving this as 'won't fix' since in 1.9.6 we have a secure backupdata folder with a message telling people to use it - MDL-20371.
