 Hi all,

 I have just taken a look into this and when they were introduced,
 shortcodes were a pioneering solution that allowed complex content to be
 embedded in WordPress. However, with the launch of the block editor
 (Gutenberg), the entire paradigm for content creation has shifted. Blocks
 are the modern successor to shortcodes, offering a far superior user
 experience with direct visual manipulation, structured attributes, and
 easy discoverability through the block inserter.

 The core development roadmap is now focused exclusively on the block
 editor and the ecosystem around it. The Shortcode API is considered
 feature-complete and is in a maintenance-only state. While critical
 security issues or major regressions would be addressed, new features or
 enhancements for the shortcode system are no longer being considered. Any
 new functionality of this nature should be built as a block.

 For these reasons, I am closing this ticket as `wontfix`. The future of
 extensible content in WordPress is blocks, and all development efforts are
 directed there. However, please feel free to reopen this ticket if you
 wish to discuss this further.
