Comment:

 At this time, this change seems unnecessary. I think that the use case
 would be if you were attempting to child theme a parent that did not use
 the `main` element in its templates. In that case, you could use this
 filter to change the outer wrapper instead of editing the templates in
 your child theme.

 However, block themes in the theme repository are expected to include a
 `main` element; the `main` element is available on relevant blocks as a
 selectable HTML element in the advanced block settings; and you can change
 them in child themes (even if it's kind of a pain.)

 I think this is probably a `wontfix` issue; but I'm open to arguments, if
 there's a case I haven't thought of.

 Discussed in the accessibility bug scrub, and agreed.
