Comment (by desrosj):

 Traditional themes can still define templates, but they must be created
 within the theme itself with the `Template Name:` defined in the file
 header.

 Block templates is being included as a feature in 5.8, but it will only be
 visible to users when a [https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-
 editing/ block-based theme] is active, which will also require the
 Gutenberg plugin. This is because there are still some issues with how
 block templates are presented and work within traditional themes. Once
 those issues are ironed out, then block templates will be available for
 all themes.
