Vlad, honestly, I don't see this getting fixed anytime soon, this has been an issue since a late revision of 18.10/19.04 (~2018).
Pinning is a time-tested solution for regressions but it does come with overhead, especially when the issue is actually a dependency of a core system component (nautilus). It would have been better if Canonical could have gotten in front of the issue when it was first fresh (before the broken expectations). Its always better to under-promise expectations than to over-promise. At this point, not meeting expectations, and the failure to act has people looking for alternatives (myself included). At this point I don't think the feedback canonical is getting regarding changes is working in a way that can let them do better. N.
