 another patch to force `show_in_rest` to true (for public CPTs and
 taxonomies) for loggedin users (other than subscribers) and not being only
 a default value, because people will expect to be able to use Gutenberg
 for all CPTs in the backend no matter the value set for `show_in_rest`.

 I agree with you.

 So show_in_rest will be true in the following scenarios:
 * Object types registered with public => true (only).
 * Object types registered with publicly_queryable => true.
 * In the backend  (logged users - other than subscribers) for public CPTs
 and taxonomies no matter the value set for 'show_in_rest'
