I haven't really started testing, so I can't say from the technical point of view.
However, from the "legal" point of view, going to Apple's documentation on UTIs, that page
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis_conc/understand_utis_conc.html
says:
"
• The public domain is reserved for common or standard types that are of general use to most applications: [...] UTIs with the public domain are called public identifiers. Currently only Apple can declare public identifiers.
• The dyn domain is reserved for special dynamic identifiers. [...]
• All other domains are available for use by third parties. [...]
"
So I'm worried by "Currently only Apple can declare public identifiers". Although it's an archive, there's no indication that the page, despite its slightly old-fashioned design, does not contain up-to-date information.
Similarly the wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier
says
"Apple maintains the public.* domain as a set base data types for all UTIs."
Adam discussed this briefly in his essay
https://github.com/amaxwell/mactex_uti/blob/master/mactex_uti.pdf
which led him to propose using org.tug.tex instead, IIRC provided TUG accepted "responsability" for the UTI.
