| It seems to me that perhaps the graphical UI could rely not only on the
| MIME type of a file, but also if it is marked as executable or not.

Some filesystems don't have execute permission bits (FAT etc.) and
Linux pastes the same setting on all the files, based on mount flags
(if I remember correctly).  So execute permission is not proof that
the thing is executable.

This does not invalidate your suggestion.
