I would also add that even though asking for GTK3 applications like
Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird to call
gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only(FALSE) seems like an easy fix, it is
not:

when such applications then call for gtk_file_chooser_get_filename()
(and _get_filenames), they could end up with NULL for remote files that
are not fuse-mounted.

Similarly, gtk_file_chooser_get_uri() (and _get_uris) behaves
differently when local-only is set or not. With local-only set,
_get_uri() returns a native file:/// path, without it returns a normal
uri (smb:// ...)

My understanding of the "show FUSE mounts in local-only mode" is that it
helps numerous applications easily handle I/O with remote volumes
without having to use GIO everywhere.
