    I have several custom taxonomies that are shared between products and other post types. get_template_loader_default_file overrides the template on all of these to archive-product.php including on non product post_type archives.

    This is incorrect. the logic should only override the template on woocommerce post type archives likes products.

    Woocommerce also seems to override the order of the the posts on these non product archives as well (where the taxonomy is shared with products)

    This is extremely frustrating

    e.g. I have a taxonomy called seasons that is shared between posts, pages, products, and events called “winter-2022”. When I go to mysite.com/season/winter-2022/ it uses the archive-product.php template. Even though the post type being queried is a post. The same applies to events etc.

    given woocommerce is the plugin overriding the template in this circumstance (when it here is no logical reason why it should) this should be considered a bug and your developers should fix it.
