 Thanks for your feedback, yes i know WordPress & GitHub are also doing so.
 I trust site admins and i think they are smart people :)
 - They can rename a package,
 - Plugin Authors can add a line in their description/documentation "If you
 want to update manually rename the package to elementor-pro.zip"
 - The help tab of the administration screen can also include a section to
 explain how to rename a zip file containing the plugin version.

 We could also sanitize the filename from the JavaScript file. But if you
 think it's not a great experience and it's best to do all the file
 manipulations on the server, i'm fine with it and i totally understand.
