Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:48366 Rarst]:
 > WordPress exports post content mostly as is from database. It runs
 through `the_content_export` filter, which does not by default have any of
 the typical `the_content` filters added.
 >
 > The most visible impact is that `wpautop()` is not applied and
 paragraphs have no `<p>` tags around them.
 >
 > Effectively this makes exported content corrupted for systems other than
 WordPress itself.
 >
 > In spirit of "own your data" I suggest this is reconsidered, in favor of
 exporting valid platform-agnostic HTML markup.
 >
 > From a quick look on implementation levels it seems just adding
 `wpautop()` might not be sufficient due to a special blocks-related logic
 in WP 5+ ? Or can that be ignored for export purposes?
