Many don't but many still do. Many set both, type and suffix. :)
I still feel it would be useful to allow users to be in control of
these additional files. It makes it cumbersome to use any non-Apple
Flash drive, work with multi-platform networks, etc. Not allowing
that control just makes Apple look bad, lending credence to the old
lightbulb joke:

Well, yes, it would be nice, but then it would create new issues tot
ackle. One one hand, to explain to users when to say yes and when to say
no. On the other hand, to implement it in the interface cleanly.
I don't see it as all that atom-splitting. If I were appointed Resource
File Czar I'd leave the default the way it is, and have an "Advanced"
option in a control panel for people who want control over their Mac.
