Hidden file extensions is such a terrible default it amazes me that Microsoft is still doing that

macOS does this too shockingly despite using the file extension as a “hint” to the file type. I think it’s unique in that most UNIX/Linux systems use magic number and Windows blindly accepts that the file is of the type that matches the extension.
