Comment (by miinasikk):

 @kadamwhite The discussed filters didn't exist at the time of adding this
 endpoint, and the `render_block` method was quite small containing just a
 few reusable lines and would have required a few more extra lines for
 reusing it, it probably made more sense to just not use it.

 That might not be the case anymore though, as far as I remember, no other
 particular reason for not using the `render_block`.

 Replying to [comment:7 kadamwhite]:
 > @TimothyBlynJacobs I assumed that the render_block method was
 deliberately not being used here for some reason. @miinasikk, @matveb
 @westonruter and others were involved in
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5602 the initial Gutenberg PR
 (#5602)] and may be able to provide that context.
