You aren't missing anything mate. This gutenbergization of wordpress is nothing but turning it into something similar to laravel cms with "wordpress backend". it is not going to be laravel neither wordpress.

justin is right about the issues facing the gutenberg blocks but i think he is forgetting that the popularity of wordpress lies behind mass adoption by people who don't know how to code at all. wordpress was, install it in few clicks engine. but now, its getting more and more complex as even the template companies and individual designers have to learn javascript to make a simple text appear on front-end in this block crazy wordpress world.

anyhow, back to the topic. I think they should take some bits from amp-bind & amp-form relationship that makes it easier to use dynamic data in AMP. it might be the easiest solution to the problem written by the author. amp-bind might be the answer.
