I have been in a curious state of limbo with Libfuse3-3 for a couple of weeks now. The issue is as follows:
When I run an update/upgrade/autoremove through the terminal as I typically do, it prompts me to remove Libfuse3-3, to which I accept (-y).
Immediately afterwards, Software Updater pops up and says this:
Once again installing the Libfuse3-3 that the terminal will then ask me to remove!
(bonus issue: that "Desktop integration portal for Flatpak and Snap" which always appears in the Updater without letting me check it)
This is a confusing one.
Apparently...
Fuse3 supercedes Fuse.
Fuse is what comes with Zorin OS.
The recent xdg-desktop-portal package update depends on Fuse3, thereby insisting it be installed in order to upgrade xdg-desktop-portal.
This necessitates removing the existing Fuse Package.
Fuse3 can be safely installed and the packages that rely on Fuse can also use Fuse3.
So, you can install or upgrade xdg-desktop-portal and fuse3 safely:
sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal -y
But It is unsafe to then try removing the Fuse Packages since the Zorin OS Desktop Environment depends on Fuse.
So install/upgrade - and then leave it safely as it is...
Or, Ignore the prompt to Upgrade xdg-desktop-portal...
Or...
Use sudo apt-mark hold xdg-desktop-portal to hold the package at current version and stop the nagging prompts.

I have just done the same, as have been playing libfuse3-3 ping-pong as described in OP. I will now see how that pans out.
