 WordPress exports post content mostly as is from database. It runs through
 `the_content_export` filter, which does not by default have any of the
 typical `the_content` filters added.

 The most visible impact is that `wpautop()` is not applied and paragraphs
 have no `<p>` tags around them.

 Effectively this makes exported content corrupted for systems other than
 WordPress itself.

 In spirit of "own your data" I suggest this is reconsidered, in favor of
 exporting valid platform-agnostic HTML markup.

 From a quick look on implementation levels it seems just adding
 `wpautop()` might not be sufficient due to a special blocks-related logic
 in WP 5+ ? Or can that be ignored for export purposes?
