 develop/pull/2692/files#r869284760 as noted in the PR], PR 2692 changed
 the behavior for classic themes.

 No, that's OK and not a problem. If the theme has a `templates/index.html`
 file, it would override the `index.php` file even if it existed.
 It's possible to have both PHP and HTML templates in the same theme, but
 HTML templates get a higher priority than PHP templates, so an `index.php`
 file doesn't make any sense when the HTML file exists 👍
