How can I make set default option for all apps?
It's annoying having to set each file extension individually, especially when I install another app that also opens these files because it starts asking me what program I want to use again.

Honestly, I used to get frustrated manually setting defaults for each file type, but once I set the defaults for the most common ones, it saved me a lot of hassle. If you’re doing this often, consider using third-party tools for Windows—they can make it a lot faster.
You can only set this one by one.
In Windows 11 Settings you choose either: 1) the default app for a given file type, or 2) the default extensions for a given app.
Win + I go to Apps > Default Apps, Search Associate extensions by file type and then one by one
