AFAIK, usbmount was never part of any default system and it would have
to be deliberately installed by the user.

Again: usbmount is just a simple package. It has nothing to do with
the "automatic mounting of usb drives" that most desktop environments
provide.

The new version of usbmount has a very unabashed description that it
is not for regular users.
