I don't agree to a change from current behavior. It is not necessary.  

Placement of configuration setting to modify behavior of the WRITER_DOCSERVICE
could be either the Options dialog, or as and Expert configuration stanza. Or
alternatively do what was suggested (comment 6) eliminate/override the document
service and open CSV by default to Calc, but provide specific filter entry to
open in Writer.

It all depends on what we see as correct default behavior for opening a CSV
when a Writer session is open and has focus. To me, and as currently
implemented we have the correct defaults in place and honoring the document
service.

Deciding a default, and where to place configuration needed to change it,
remains a UX issue.
