Comment:

 Welcome to Trac and thanks for the report!

 GB26170 mentions how the lack of a widget title would force end users "to
 use multiple steps to recreate their sidebar units" (that is, creating an
 additional block for the heading). New sites seem to have the heading
 grouped with the Categories block in the sample set of widgets.

 Partially related: I think you only mean the heading for the list version
 of the Categories block, but WordPress 6.0 visually hides the label for
 the dropdown version. The Archives label was made visible, and soon users
 will have a choice between showing and hiding it (see GB41208), but the
 Categories block still would hide the label.

 This discussion should continue on the Gutenberg repository, perhaps in
 the first issue and/or a new issue.
