[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

I for the longest time have had to use 2.79 to do ALL importing and exporting. Today I realized after trying to install a 3rd party import Export FBX add-on; that they were hidden because of my use of 'Filter Add-On's' in my workspaces.

This should take a pretty high priority; as I'm sure many people moving from 2.79 to 2.8 may experience the same thing unknowingly.
I set the 'Filter Add-On's' option months ago; and had never questioned it affecting anything until now.

Here are some screenshots to show the difference between 'Filter Add-On's' Checked or unchecked with the Import or Export menu's open:

Another aspect I meant to mention; is that none of these Add-On's appear in the filter list; because they are not part of the viewport. Although one of them has an options panel that appears in the properties panel. I don't think these Add-on's should be in the filter list; but perhaps others may feel differently.

A side note: It would be nice to have drop downs by Add-On categories; as the list gets quite long as it is.
