Skype update breaks phone calls on MacOS

So the latest Skype update (Skype version 8.64.0.67) changes the default calling application on MacOS to Skype instead of FaceTime. This breaks making phone calls using your iPhone from MacOS. To revert this change, launch FaceTime, goto Preferences and change the default calling application back to FaceTime.

It is bad enough that Skype keeps getting messed up by Microsoft without an identity and idiotic experimental UX on a regular basis, hijacking the default settings on an operating system without user content takes the cake.
