Likely you have changed file associations for HTML files from KDE System Settings. Try to move away ~/.config/mimeapps.list or comment out text/html entry there and Abiword should pop back.

I confirm, it does pop back.
And every change (moving file) needs logout and login to take effect.

KDE may cache MIME settings. It may reread config files after some pause however. You may try to force cache update by

Instead of setting default application you may remove association of HTML files with Abiword. In ~/.config/mimeapps.list or /etc/XDG/mimeapps.list add to the section "[Removed Associations]" (create it if it does not exist):

text/html=abiword.desktop;

Abiword should disappear from "Open with" dialogs. The only way to open an HTML file with Abiword would be to run it with the file argument from command line or to start Abiword and to use the "Open" dialog.

It seems the approach taken by e.g. GNOME and Android is less confusing for users in some cases. If default application has not set yet than application chooser appears.
