<pre>A xdg-mime query will read .config/mimeapps.list first
(<a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-mime.in?id=ef8a58be4049697bb6347c3c5b8fff4d2b2deb86#n397">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-mime.in?id=ef8a58be4049697bb6347c3c5b8fff4d2b2deb86#n397</a>).
But setting a default application will write to
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
(<a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-mime.in#n244">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-mime.in#n244</a>).
This way one can't change the default application, if .config/mimeapps.list was
created by some means.
Also, xdg-mime will fail with returncode 4 in that case, which isn't very
descriptive.</pre>
