Indeed. That officially registered mimetype list in
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml is rather
limited.

But xdg-mime is still recognizing a number of other types, including
text/x-makefile, which is also not on IANA list.

So, the idea of using the same mimetype for all OSes will not work.
"Standard" it too limited to rely on.
