In Bug 1743914, I added a Nimbus feature that makes "set to default" mean "set to default and set as default PDF handler" on Windows. This can be supported, I think, on macOS -- the relevant API call is ::LSSetDefaultRoleHandlerForContentType(kUTTypePDF, ...), sibling to this call.

Given the nice outcome we saw on Windows, should we prioritize this or do we think the benefit on Mac will be lower?

My belief is no, this won't be much benefit. We're not aware of other browsers making themselves the default PDF handler on macOS, and in particular Preview (the default PDF handler) is both full-featured and not directing users towards Safari (the default browser). This is in stark contrast to Microsoft Edge on Windows.
