i'm concerned about the influence of Google/Automattic on what is supposed to be a free software, community-driven project, and I'm also concerned about recreating Geocities, which essentially seems to be what's going on. That said, if we're going to build ourselves a rocket ship just to get down the street to the nearest convenience store, are we at least going to use all that power to try to ensure that standards-based, semantic markup ends up becoming popular, and are we going to learn from the mistakes of Geocities/page builders in general and ensure that users aren't creating websites which then have to be remediated due to accessibility or other concerns? I mean we as a project/community. Also, I'm a little concerned, based on google being involved with this, that we're essentially doing native AMP, (which has a ton of critiques from those who are concerned about accessibility or just the plain-old open independent web), but for WordPress. There are already standards, (w3C), and I'm not sure I want to see a project like WordPress, (which, like it or not, has a history of completely ignoring said standards, especially when it comes to third-party themes and plugins and even in core), all of a sudden creating a standard, something that normally takes years to do and takes a lot of input from a lot of interested groups. Which seems to be where all this block business is ultimately headed. Same applies to Google, which also has quite a history of ignoring standards, however much they preach about their importance.
