But many OS X apps (even some from Apple?) don't set the Finder
info, relying on OS X's preference to determine type from the file
type extension in the name.
Many don't but many still do. Many set both, type and suffix. :)
I still feel it would be useful to allow users to be in control of
these additional files. It makes it cumbersome to use any non-Apple
Flash drive, work with multi-platform networks, etc. Not allowing
that control just makes Apple look bad, lending credence to the old
lightbulb joke:

Well, yes, it would be nice, but then it would create new issues tot
ackle. One one hand, to explain to users when to say yes and when to
say no. On the other hand, to implement it in the interface cleanly.
Like if I copy a folder with 100 files and need this extra file for
only 3 of the files, then what? In a way, it is simpler to just have
the extra file and tell people that it is needed for OSX. In my mind,
it is not that different from the mysteries of long and short
variants of filenames in Windows.
