Automattic, a separate entity from WordPress, owns WooCommerce. That company also contributes many resources to the WordPress project.

Yes, there is still a huge world of bloggers with new ones coming every day. It's still very much an important part of the platform. We have also had default themes not specifically catered to blogging. Twenty Nineteen, for example, is much more general purpose. Twenty Twenty, while it works for blogs, was geared more toward building landing pages with the block editor. But, they are just default themes. There are 1,000s of other themes for more specific needs.
