I find it fairly odd that this is intended behaviour.

I mean there's a significant difference between an app I want to open a folder
with and the app I want to generally manage my files, as evidenced by many
posts on the internet, some of which:

Why are we doing it this way and would it not be better to add applications
only as folder openers and not change the file manager? It seems to me that
many more people are installing an IDE or similar than changing their file
manager and also many don't expect their file manager to change when a new app
to open folders with is added.
