This option, when enabled, would cause the asterisk/glob marker to be ignored if no match is found. This resulted in a very confusing behaviour with ls(1), where `ls *random-nonexistent*' would be treated as equivalent to `ls' with no parameter at all. Make sure to unset this shell option after whatever was done in xdg-data-dirs-opt-apps.sh. Link: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Filename-Expansion.html
