Lack of versioning for synchronized files (VFS)

I just noticed how the files that are synced using the desktop client are not subjected to versioning.

For example, I’m writing a long Word document that is saved in my synced nextcloud directory, therefore saving it multiple times; if I go to the file properties in Nextcloud Files, I don’t see any version history of this file. If I edit it using collabora or onlyoffice from the browser, then versions are created. Why is that so?

If it can be relevant to the question, I enabled virtual files. Of course the Versions app is enabled

Little edit: I just tried to sync just one directory without using virtual files, creating a new document and then editing it. The effect is the same, no versioning
