yeah,

It's seriously too early in the morning to be reading all that.

MIME type is surely irrelevant.
Sounds like you are one of those guys that think that when you download an EXE, AVI, MP3 or whatever that the browser decides what to do... based on the file extension. That would be wrong, browsers use a MIME type sent by the webserver to determine what to do with the file. MHT/MHTML files have a MIME type. (I am leaving out MIME sniffing for brevity)

Good grief, surely not.

You say this then give an accurate (and very good) description of how MHT files would be opened. Which results in the same default HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3050F3D9-98B5-11CF-BB8200AA00BDCE0B} handler being invoked provided he hasn't overridden the ftype handler. You are saying the same thing as me here.

No COM should be needed at all.
You have no idea how much COM is used in Windows. It's not going away. After an internal review it was decided COM is actually a good/stable framework and we built new system services in Windows 10 on top of it.

Best Wishes,
