Won’t open .dat file

I bought this because Google said it could open & edit .dat files. It refuses. Why?? It’s a text file.

Response from developer

What's missing?

I use this to edit AI responses outside of the email, text or word processor. Very convenient.

If I see something I want to quickly store for later use or reference I use this app. I use Google Keep on my phone but on the iMac I use this app. Its simplicity is the biggest reason I use it.
