I actually thought that this was just a transition issue and that the mount options just weren't exposed in nautilus yet. If it's intentional, then this is indeed a non-issue. Dropping the mount options from the UI entirely stops people from being able to share their USB hard disk with other users on the system, though. There might be a few other use cases, but this one seems to be the most obvious to me. I don't consider /etc/fstab a real alternative, that feels like a step backwards and isn't possible for non-admin users anyway. But let's see how this goes..
