Export As should remember the last chosen format across sessions, after the app the relaunched
Currently Export As remembers the chosen file format only until the app is relaunched.
This choice should be sticky. That is, if we export as PDF, this should stay chosen next time Illustrator is launched.
Currently it gets defaulted to PNG, and choosing a required format each time feels tedious and unnecessary.

From MY point of view, I would only need PDF. Ever.
I can think of other use cases, where PNG would be the preferred one.
And then again others, where it changes, what it should be exported to.So I can only offer my wish to have it either be a setting that _I_ always have PDF as the first selected, or to (maybe choose or have it as default) have the last selected be the one that shows up the next time, regardles of same session or restart.
Why is PNG the default one (it IS the default one for sure now) in the first place? Obviously not for alphabetical reasons. So there has been a thought process to have it this way, and I want to have everyone rethink this process and make it even more usable to all.

Not sure if this behavior should be made in an option though... if people prefer PNG, this should stay then if they choose PNG once... I wonder if there can be any benefit in defaulting it I can’t imagine?
