I am a volunteer who wrote this.
Also, I want to point out that here on WordPress.com we follow the direction where the WordPress open-source project is moving towards. The Block editor is their first step in modernizing WordPress and you can read more here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/handbook/faq/
Since the development of the WordPress software is moving in this direction, when new versions of the software are released, we update the software here at WordPress.com.

We also understand that people still use the Classic Editor, which is why it’s still available here (it’s not in the WordPress software). The navigation unification we’re working on now moved where you access it. But, eventually, newer versions of WordPress won’t be compatible with the legacy Classic Editor and that’s why we’re encouraging people to try the new Block editor which has a “Classic block” that has almost the same functionality as the Classic Editor.
