That is because I was the one who was confused.
It was not gvfs but was actually fuse and fuse3 for which I was mentioning.
fuse - Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace
programs to
export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a
secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem
implementations.
fuse3 - Filesystem in Userspace (3.x version)
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to
export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a
secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem
implementations.
And fuse3 is installed in Debian Gnome.
