Photomator - why is Apple pushing it to the side?

Photomator has potential to be a genuine lightroom alternative, especially now as so many are trying to escape the Adobe environment. With such an overwhelming amount of creators and photographers already using Mac, I don't understand why they don't position themselves to better steal customers away. I can't understand why they would bundle Pixelmator into their creative suite but leave photomator out, it doesn't seem to make sense why they would acquire the product, keep it available, and just not do anything with it. Does anyone know if there are any actual plans for photomator or should I cancel my subscription and search for a more permanent lightroom alternative?

Force Photomator to open the jpeg version when shooting jpeg+raw

Hey all

I shoot jpeg+raw on my Fuji XT5. In Apple Photos, jpeg is the "default" file that gets opened. But in Photomator, it opens the raw file every time. This is super annoying. I use the raw files only as insurance — 90% of the time i want to use what's coming straight out of the camera as a jpeg.

Is there any way to make Photomator work like Photos here and open the jpeg file by default?
