That sort of stuff was not really stored in GFS directly, it is stored in storage systems that build on top of GFS.
That has ~always been the case. So while GFS might have had, say, open access to the map data and tiles, or the crawled web pages, user data isn't accessed that way (and this was standardized and enforced very strongly, even 16 years ago when i started).
