 Hello! I've been advised this applies to Core / Design so I'm going to
 report my feedback here as well. This is an issue related to Gutenberg but
 it's not a part of the Block Editor. It's a Gutenberg feature but one
 that's in Core.

 **Original GitHub issue:**
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/10426

 **Issue:**
 The featured image visually appears as drag and drop, however, it's just a
 button. Drag and drop does not work.

 **Motivation:**
 I personally find it confusing and when I raise the question to other
 WordPress users their feedback is the same. They assumed it was drag and
 drop but never tried it.

 **Suggestions:**

 Option 1.
 Update the UI (technically a roll back) to appear as a button or link.
 This would match the UI with the user experience.

 Option 2.
 Add drag and drop support. Since this is a part of Gutenberg, the
 necessary JavaScript / API for this function should already be there.
