I've observed over the past couple of years that support for NFS v3 or v4 has been removed from most Linux file browsers. It's odd because many systems still run NFSv4 shares. What makes this even more surprising is that Windows with the NFS plugin lets you browse and mount NFS shares. Anyone here, can you share your thoughts on why this is happening? Mounting an NFS share in Linux is now complicated, while it remains straightforward on Windows. The situation feels quite strange.

Nautilus indeed backs NFS, making that statement incorrect.

It doesn't have to fit your system's standard setup to remain functional. The intended package might not come with all necessary tools by default, as only a small subset of users require them. However, they are usually found in repositories for you to install yourself.
