I’m not sure this is a step in the right direction. As a former corporate type with usability-testing experience I had a tech-savvy but new-to-WordPress friend try to use an out-of-the-box WordPress installation to create a page and a blog post.

Even the current block editor defaults thwarted them when they finished their blog post and needed to return to the main WordPress interface to create a page. I’m not sure making the block editing experience even more “distraction free” would improve that experience. One hopes it’ll be something you can easily turn on rather than turn off.
