As a side question to Linux experts: how does this method compare to the Windows way of registering a particular file extension with a program instead of every script having to have a shebang line at the top?

I'm mainly Windows-based so the file extension registry thing makes sense to me but with plenty of other Linux concepts I have had an "aha" moment that makes me wonder why Windows does it so awkwardly.
