"Nautilus needs to display all installed applications in the "Open With" menu,
because an application may not have an installed Mimetype, but still be able to
open a file."
This is a bug in said application.

"Why does Evince only need a single .desktop file to support similar
documents?"
I have no idea how Evince works, but okular is plugin based, that is you can
choose which plugins to install, thus it really makes 0 sense to have a single
.desktop file advertising support for all file types, since well, it is not
true

"Okular should not abuse the .desktop standard and expect other applications to
work perfectly with it."
Can you really prove it is an abuse?
