In reply to AJ.

All that, and this is what you got out of it? A complaint about the popular themes list?

It's a 100% free theme just like Twenty Nineteen or Twenty Seventeen. Do you also get upset by those since they are included in core? If you fear competition from 100% free themes then you have bigger problems to worry about my friend.

For all intents and purposes themes as we know them are going away as Gutenberg matures, so your problem will solve itself one way or another.

As an aside, we should all be excited by things like this that move WordPress forward and challenge the rest of us to do the same. It's what keeps WordPress growing and customers buying our products and services. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone. Maybe you will build the next great thing--I can't wait to see it!
