Audacity has no control over what other software developers choose to do.

A Google search came up with this:
The AUP file type is primarily associated with 'Audacity'. Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. Audacity projects are stored in an AUP file, which is a format that has been optimized for Audacity so that it can open and save projects quickly. Audacity breaks larger audio files into several smaller pieces and stores these pieces in a directory with a name similar to the project. The AUP format is not generally supported; projects must be exported to be played in other software.
