This reminds me of a problem I had a few years ago with opening files. I
fixed it with a Terminal command that clears and re-sets the
LaunchServices database.
Try this (all one line):
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister
-kill -r -domain local -domain user;killall Finder;echo "Open With has
been rebuilt, Finder will relaunch"
See <https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/118198/glitch-in-open-with>
The question is old but the useful answer from Tony Williams was posted
in January 2021.
I just ran it on macOS Big Sur and it still seemed to work (although my
"Open With" wasn't currently giving me problems).

Anybody else have a problem with TextEdit being invoked when
double-clicking on a .txt file that is set to be opened with BBEdit?
This has been an annoyance over several versions of the OS.
All .txt files are set to BB and their file icons reflect this.
