Comment (by dshanske):

 I wanted to revisit this, four years later. I have evolved somewhat, as
 has WordPress.

 https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/what-is-a-theme/


 The handbook says that themes take content and data and display it. But
 for custom post types and data, the theme doesn't know what necessarily
 the data and content is. Standards like microformats, as well as schema,
 attach attributes such as class, rel, etc to things... creating a system
 where these things can be set and used by the theme is better than
 requiring every theme to know about custom post types.

 You could say that Gutenberg solves this...by handling individual blocks,
 but this was about supporting it for thene elements, such as content,
 body, etc.
