   @johnstonphilip block themes are faster and more secure, two things that are pain points for wordpress so I don't blame them for attempting to make and promote something better. but there is a ton of inertia.

     #WordPress Based on what I’ve seen, Block Themes are not growing and are barely used. This is based on the low and declining install counts for Block Themes from WP.org. Whenever someone says “Block Themes are the future of WordPress”, it makes you feel like you should be focusing resources there. But based on the evidence so far, that’s not true. If the trends remain as they have been for 2 years, how much wasted time will have been spent by WP business to build for a future that will never be?
