KML/KMZ format is a defacto standard outside the professional world of GIS. The transfer of spatial information occurs daily in many organizations using KML/KMZ. The suggestion is to add KML format to the native "Add Data" in ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.
This would eliminate the multi-step import process to SHAPE or Feature class when simply wanting to view a KML. Today most users have Google Earth for viewing KML/KMZ formats.
KML is supported natively in ArcGIS Pro. See https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/kml/kml-layers.htm No further development is happening in ArcMap so we're marking this as Already Offered.
