Description
The defaults are set to ..., because the code is dynamic (as is usual with tkinter), and the default values couldn't be filled in automatically when we introduced default values to typeshed. Setting reasonable default values would make the parameters easier to use, because IDEs tell you what each parameter does if you don't specify it.
This is similar to #10947, maybe a part of it.

Research direction
Open stdlib/tkinter/filedialog.pyi and inspect lines 81-90, then review the related issue #10947 for context on default values in typeshed. The work is done when the relevant arguments have reasonable defaults instead of ellipses and the stub remains consistent with the dynamic tkinter API.
