“Keep folders on top” is a Finder preference as of Big Sur.

Also a Finder preference

That’s nothing to do with the Finder, but rather with how macOS discovers app-bundle file association claims through Spotlight. It applies equally to files opened through CLI open(1).
(Hint: if you downloaded the app from a website/through Homebrew, try opening the app itself once. It’s probably quarantined. Spotlight ignores quarantined things until you vouch for them. This is also why you won’t find the app in a search until you open it.)
Thanks for pointing out that preference -- I hadn't noticed it being added, so this was a nifty discovery.

Hidden file/folder visibility can be toggled with ⌘-Shift-. and zip files can be previewed with QuickLook after BetterZip is installed.

Didn’t know about the shortcut! Supernice
There are a dozen other things I recall shaking my head at but don't remember the specifics. File extension hiding, program association issues, split view crashes, integrations constantly broken between releases.
