Comment (by matveb):

 As @ryelle mentions the core of this idea is already in place for blocks
 that are available in the block directory. The main inconvenient, though,
 is that most block libraries come in the form of plugin bundles and their
 blocks are not available standalone. A next step is to figure out a way to
 make it easy for plugins to make their blocks available in the directory
 as single blocks while still allowing collections of blocks to exist in
 some form (a plugin could just indicate what blocks from the directory are
 part of the bundle using the block namespace, for example). All in all it
 has to be easy for existing libraries to publish their blocks in the
 directory without disruption or overhead. Some of that work is described
 in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/23378
