Okay. This was a great breakdown. I see both sides of the coin here. But with FSE and Block Themes being the future direction of WordPress, they have to have their own section / highlighted discoverability in the theme directory.

That’s the only way to increase mass adoption and speed up future iterations of block themes and FSE.

It will instinctually drive the “every day” person to embrace the new developments at WP.

I hear the concerns of the theme developers. I do.

But if you zoom out and look at the greater good for WP, you have to give blocks and FSE a little push above the rest.
