Comment (by poena):

 I disagree with adding the theme support in the full site editing theme
 because the purpose of these type of themes is to be easier to create.

 Long term, adding more requirements to the block theme would be against
 the end goal.

 -Most theme support is already enabled for block themes.
 -A functions.php file is not required for block themes, and adding this
 would make it required to include one.

 Requiring a theme.json may be one way, but the same exception could still
 be triggered since classic themes can use theme.json.


 The classic themes that have chosen to include html files are the
 exception, as these files are of a non standard format for classic themes.
 The burden of this choice should not be placed on other WordPress theme
 authors.

 Ideally WordPress should recognize the format automatically.
 The second best is an opt-out in the classic theme not the block theme.
