Comment:

 @gziolo I think that the Meta Trac may be a better place for this initial
 discussion to be had (it may not be possible with how the directory is set
 up).

 As far as I know, a PHP file is required because Block Directory plugins
 are just a specific type of plugin and have to adhere to the same
 requirements around required files. The main PHP file in the plugin is
 used for the [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics
 /header-requirements/ plugin headers] so that the plugin can be
 activated/deactivated.
