Xcode8 - defaults to wrong architecture when making a new file

Product:Developer Tools Product Version:8.0 beta (8S128d)
Classification:UI Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Xcode has default templates divided up by architecture.

It is a rare day when the project's architecture has any sway over which section is selected.

See attached screen shot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a new Mac project
2. Add a new file

Expected Results:
The macOS / OS X section is selected, with one of the default templates selected

Actual Results:
It's a crap shoot.  Usually for projects that are 100% iOS, I get OS X selected as the architecture.  Even for days on end.

I just made a new Mac project in Xcode 8, added a new file, and iOS was selected.

Rarely has Xcode ever chosen the correct architecture, which just leads me to sigh, and choose "blank document" unless I really need a companion xib file

Version:
8.0 beta (8S128d)

Notes:
It's really not that big a deal - just a scroll and two clicks, but when it happens day-in, day-out, it's just another heavy-sigh death-of-a-thousand-cuts that makes using Xcode unpleasant.

Configuration:
This has been happening with every xcode version since iOS came out.
