Stupid question maybe. Do one’s gmail attachments live on your Google Drive? This would be a separate system no? (Eg I don’t normally attach things via Google drive nor put attachments there when gmail tries to encourage me to do so..)

It's an entirely separate system.

Logically separate, physically living in the same boxes.

Aren't large attachments transparently put in Google Drive and linked to the email instead of being added as direct attachments?

Only on the sending side.
