As for progress, the fact that you still can't define color combo pallets is (to put it kindly) weird. It like the GB Core team forgot about MySpace and what happens when the design-blind have no guardrails.
Yes, it kinda getting better. But it still feels like too much trust and responsibility is put on the user and not the tool. It's like having a text input on a form for email and not doing validation because well...you trust people will get it right. Who does that in 2020+?
The last couple of years has been a reminder of how much WP .com means to Automattic. And how little other use cases (e.g., content entered via say ACF because that's all the client wants / needs) matter to them.
