Comment (by mattheweppelsheimer):

 Hmm... Are there any default white listed MIME types that can't be
 displayed on the front end?

 If not, introducing some might make for bad UX. I think it's likely some
 users will be confused if we allow uploading a file that can't be
 displayed or used in site content. It might appear "broken".

 Perhaps this deserves some kind of UI heads up somewhere. Something like,
 "Hey, this media file can't be displayed in web browsers. You can upload
 and download HEIF files, but you can't display them on your site." — Or,
 perhaps we're already supporting un-displayable file type uploads, and
 already doing exactly that?
