There should at least be an option for those that don't use virt-viewer
to still get the popup.

Agreed

Maybe this is just a ploy to get everyone to use Spice?

...if that's the case; when are we going to get Spice plugin for Mac OSX?

to answer both.
1. its not a ploy, its actually to solve the problem for platforms without plugins for spice or vnc (no platform has a plugin for vnc).

2. virt-viewer supports both windows and linux
http://www.spice-space.org/download.html

i remember there is a client for mac as well actually, i suggest asking on:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel

3. you can write a small wrapper script and associate it with the .vv file (hopefully, someone will do this and attach an example for others).
this will work for both vnc of your choice and spice on any platform

    The replacement of VNC popup with a .vv file download seems like a
    (or several) step backward. Since virt-viewer appears to be a

    .vv file must be turned off (otherwise virt-viewer will pop up
    instantly).
