OSX is particularly lousy with remembering user preferences and configuration. I quit using it after I grew sick of raging at it forgetting what applications want different files to open with. I've never had this sort of problem on Linux.

In my experience, when filetype associations change under macOS it’s because some app I’ve used recently has made those changes without asking me.

I know some people are tired of all the prompts but I don’t think apps should be able to change those associations without first prompting the user.
