The author eventually recovered their files using 7-zip, which is a Windows program.

p7zip, the portable version of 7-Zip works on Linux, macOS and other Unix systems as well. It also has a Debian package.
Data recovery from that FAT32 filesystem would have worked identically in p7zip (and 7-Zip).

I know that p7zip exists. Nevertheless, the author used the Windows version and it worked for them, so I'm not sure why the Linux implementation is relevant to this conversation.
