Comment (by louwie17):

 This is not only a blocker for themes, but also a blocker for plugins that
 are symlinked. In WooCommerce we make use of the ABSPATH for registering
 blocks, which will refer to the official plugin directory instead of the
 symlinked version.
 While it doesn't entirely prevents us from still using it in WooCommerce,
 it does make testing it more difficult as many of us use symlinks for
 testing WooCommerce in our local environments.

 Here ( https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/51184 ) is the
 initial implementation of using `wp_register_block_metadata_collection()`
 in WooCommerce.
