 This ticket tracks the syncing of the Gutenberg PR:

 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65071, Global Styles: allow
 read access to users with edit_posts capabilities]

 The gist is to allow any role that can edit a post, including custom post
 types, to read global styles from the API and in the editor.

 Why?

 Block style variations and other global styles are not available to non-
 admin editors. See: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/64755

 Furthermore, having global styles available in the post editor will, one
 day, allow block controls to reflect any values inherited from the
 theme/global styles. See:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/64670
