The issue is that currently open-assets doesn't handle correctly the default types option (which I think, in this case, it should return all assets, even not images). I'll fix this in the next release, but for now, what I think it should be even more correctly is to ask explicitly the type of assets

editor.runCommand('open-assets', { types: ['image'] });
