Could you provide a minimal, reproducible example that shows this behaviour? I guess it would also be helpful to know more details about your environment, most importantly your Sublime Text version. Personally, I have long abandoned the editor, but still have version 3 installed.

I'm on stable 4126. Tried removing/adding the package again, but still
can't seem to get . scpt files to open in a text-readable/editable format.
I'm on macOS Sierra 10.12.6. The issue occurs with any scpt file I open in
ST. I've attached a simple one as an example.
Which editor are you using now if you've abandoned ST? I'm curious about
the top pros & cons compared to ST.
Thanks,
Mike

For now, I can confirm, that the automatic decoding of .scpt files does not work in Sublime Text 4 (it works fine in ST3). However, you can still use decode an open file using the AppleScript Extensions: Toggle Binary command. I might find some time this weekend to look into it.
Which editor are you using now if you've abandoned ST? I'm curious about
the top pros & cons compared to ST.
I almost valued Sublime Text for its speed and knew it inside out after 8 years of using it. At some point, I started converting some of my ST packages for other editors, without using them myself. I guess that gave me some insights into what else it out there and I liked different things in different editors. For example, I always liked the look of Atom and as a developer, I loved its API (no other editor I've worked with comes close!)
I'm now using Visual Studio Code. Yes, it feels much slower than good old Sublime Text, but in the end, some of its features were simply too compelling or felt less like a workaround (e.g. I disliked the various Terminal integrations in Sublime Text). Microsoft has invested a lot into it that suits me and the languages I work in the most.
I don't want to talk anybody out of the editor that works for them. Keep using what works best for you! At the same time, it might be worth it to look around what else is available. Most modern editors share the groundbreaking features (command palette, multiple cursors, etc) of TextMate or Sublime Text. On the other hand, Sublime Text benefits from some of the innovations in VSCode (e.g. language server protocol). So switching editors isn't as much leaving your comfort zone as you'd probably imagine.

Update: Actually, ST3 and ST4 behave differently. When ST is closed and I drag & drop a .scpt in ST4, it will not decode the file. When ST is already open and I open the file, it will. Can you confirm this behaviour?

Jan,
Thanks for the quick turnaround & support with this.

unfortunately, toggle binary doesn't seem to work for me. or is there some
other step to decode the file besides selecting the toggle binary command?

Cool. I work in game dev as a technical sound designer. i do various
scripting as needed, but not any really heavy lifting on the code side.
I've brushed with vs a few times & can definitely see it's potential.

Yeah at this point I've embedded myself pretty deep into customizations of
sublime (theme, macros, completions, snippets, shortcuts, etc). so it would
no doubt take quite a while & be very cumbersome to switch to something
else at this point.
however, in some cases I'll still use other editors on a per-need basis
when ST is lacking some feature or behavior. e.g. i often use bbedit for
plists & other files that don't seem to open properly in ST.

Unfortunately, neither method works for me. so far, i just have to resort
to copying/pasting between Apple's script editor app & ST when working with
these files.
i'm wondering if it could be interference from some other package i have
installed, or maybe some other local setting. lmk if there's any other info
you need that might help.
Thanks again,
Mike

Tested on another computer with a fresh ST4 installation. I still get the same behaviour as described in my earlier post. Regarding interfering packages, could you check the console if there are any error messages?
