Comment (by poena):

 I agree with closing this ticket.
 The {{{wp-site-blocks}}} class name is included in all block themes, on an
 en element that wraps all blocks.

 I would like to learn the motivation behind and reason for why the filter
 is needed, without that, it is difficult to re-consider the need.

 If the proposed filter was used to alter the {{{<div>}}} to {{{<main>}}}
 specifically, it would wrap everything, including new and existing blocks
 that uses the {{{<main>}}} HTML tag, as well as the site header and site
 footer.

 Besides the options in the user interface, there are block filters that
 may be more appropriate to use, that can filter the tag name on the
 correct and appropriate block: a block that only wraps the **actual** main
 content.
