Tangentially related: I find it weird that relating file extensions to GUI document icons still doesn't work intuitively.
On my Mac, the document icons for file types still correspond to whatever program I've chosen to open that extension type by default.
Which is so strange -- an .mkv file isn't a VLC document; an .mp4 file isn't a QuickTime document, an .mp3 file isn't an Apple Music document, a .jpg isn't a Preview document, and a .tiff isn't a Photoshop document. What the heck?
I wish the OS would just define reasonable, attractive, default document icons for every standard file type, that applications couldn't control/overwrite. Reserve application-defined document icons just for those apps who truly have their own proprietary file format (e.g. .psd or .docx).
