This isn't true.  For example, gedit, gimp, totem and many other
applications are not file-oriented but happily make use of gvfs mounts
through the GIO API (and allow mounting through the file chooser
dialog).

Anyway, being able to hide a mount sounds like a reasonable feature, so
thanks for creating the bug.
