  If I may offer a counter-example (rather late, I know), one category of applications that an "Open with" on an empty dir is quite useful for are code editors. The way many people start new projects, for example, is by creating a new dir (in Dolphin) and using "Open with" to open it in their editor (like VS Code).
  
  I know this workflow can be re-created with an action (like the one for Konsole), but at least to me, "Open with" seems more intuitive for this.
