 is like overriding the correct decision already take by WordPress to use
 block editor or not. This hook should be used to enabled block editor for
 specific post types which are needed.

 I agree, the use of the `use_block_editor_for_post` filter in this manner
 is a developer error and overriding the correct decision made by WordPress
 already.

 I'm going to close this as wontfix as bypassing the filter for post types
 that don't support the block-editor could break sites using API
 middleware.
