 true**! Using the WP_Styles API does not improve handling of these styles
 in the slightest. Please add examples!

 No need to use exclamation points. Per the discussion in
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1695675353234609, there
 are primarily two benefits of this change:
 * It allows plugins (e.g. optimization plugins) to filter the CSS output.
 * It allows external CSS to depend on the relevant core CSS, e.g. custom
 WP Embed styles can now depend on `wp-embed-template`.

 > At this time it seems that this change is a "pointless refactoring".
 There are no fixes or improvements as a result of it. Please see the
 WordPress philosophy in regards to doing pointless refactoring. On top of
 that it could bring new bugs or regressions.
 >
 > In these terms I think it should be reverted until a proof that it is
 actually beneficial for something.

 This is not correct, the improvements were outlined several times here and
 in the linked Slack conversation. If there is a foundation for actual bugs
 this is introducing, then it should be revisited, so please present
 examples if you have any.
