Comment (by costdev):

 @andraganescu That's correct. A theme with a `templates/index.html` file
 that is either empty or contains non-block HTML will not be identified as
 a block theme. This is a possible regression - how likely is it that a
 block theme's `templates/index.html` would be empty? - Genuine question.

 In addition, a concern raised by @hellofromTonya:

  Misidentified hybrid theme as a block theme, ie a theme that has classic
 HTML and templating but also could have blocks defined in them.

 The hybrid theme issue above would not be a regression, as the mere
 existence of a `templates/index.html` with any amount of content would
 misidentify a hybrid theme as a block theme.

 Given that, we can evaluate the concern, decide whether it needs to be
 handled and attempt to handle it in this ticket, but we can also adapt
 `is_block_theme()` to cover this later if we need more time.
