I found this:
The /etc/fstab.d support has been reverted from mount(8) after upstream discussion. The
mount tab directories are supported by libmount only. It's not planned to support
fstab.d in mount(8) by default.
The problem is that /etc/fstab is de facto standard used on many places (libc, systemd,
UI programs, ..) and it's unreal wish that all the places can be changed to support
fstab.d.

Hi Folks,
The world seems to be headed toward universal multiple config files in the form
<dir>.d. There are about fifty of them in /etc.
I mount some filesystems "universally", under "/net/...", and, when
appropriate, in a user directory, "/home/<user>/net/...". This gives me
better granularity of permissions. My fstab has become cumbersome and today I asked the
question, "Maybe there is an /etc/fstab.d? Son-of-a-bitch! There is! Well, I mean, I
find scattered, inaccurate references, but it is not clear to me that it works on Fedora
36, and initial experiments indicate otherwise. I can still use it, but I have a script
that combines all my "components" and replaces the "real" /etc/fstab,
and that's not too bad, but it is a hack, and I'd rather find out if it is
supposed to work and find out why mine doesn't.
Anybody have any experience with /etc/fstab.d?
Thanks for the help,
