I’m pretty sure there’s at least one instance of an alien race offering to program a local delicacy into the replicators too, also in VOY I think.
Doesn’t Neelix create some replicator programs as well? I want to say for Kes.

This is evidenced by both Neelix's and the Kazon surprise when the Voyager crew is able to replicate water.
There is a catch in the first episode, which clearly shows replicator technology being employed by the sporocistians (it's how they beam down food to the Ocampa).
I was more certain about my Neelix memory though, and I managed to find Neelix 1: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Neelix_1
I also didn't knew that replicator programs were canon.
