Thanks for kindly explanation, yes, I'm confused and I've found 
that I misunderstood what these session are.

Just a moment, please.
Surely this is not a support forum, so it should close "not a bug" report about gdm3. 
But, it still ships /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-xorg.desktop, so user can choose it 
on the gear icon at the login screen. 
It seems that situation which is easy to misunderstand is kept.

How about taking action to improve?

plan 1. retire /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-xorg.desktop
           (because xorg is used as a fallback, not used always)
plan 2. rewrite Name= entry more suitable one.
           (not to be confused)
