The change was suggested on https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+git/udisks2/+merge/419970 but the rational applies to Debian as well

'Demote ntfs-3g from recommends to suggests; now that ntfs3 kernel module is preferred.'

Could you elaborate here?
If I uninstall ntfs-3g I get

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1



Also, ntfs-3g ships mkfs.ntfs etc which would be missing otherwise.

Error mounting /dev/sdb1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/michael/EXTREME: Filesystem type ntfs not configured in kernel. I.e. users wouldn't be able to create NTFS formatted USB sticks for example, which is an important use case imho.
