Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS.

On Windows it’s 'start "" "<file>"' (empty quotes for default program), don’t know if that’s implemented.

"default" is apparently "pdfopen", that doesn’t work on MacOS, at least on my system I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdfopen Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6

You need XQuartz installed for pdfopen to even start on MacOS. But it would still likely fail with ‘acroread startup failed’, because it is seriously outdated by now.

I have XQuartz, of course, but not the outdated Apple version or any other in /usr/X11/lib, but the MacPorts version in /opt/local/lib (and a few within some Apps). Adobe Acrobat Reader DC doesn’t use X11 and isn’t callable as acroread, but only as /Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader *if* you installed it in /Applications. I guess you meant acroread on Linux, and there "default" still works.

you could also create an alias for in your .bashrc

alias open=xdg-open

Right. And also an alias for acroread and/or pdfopen on my Mac. But since I think it’s useful for a lot of users, I suggest including at least xdg-open for "auto" on Linux. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a distinction of systems in mtxrun. (Is it in mtx-context.lua? I didn’t understand the code.)
