No shade to the creators as I'm sure the tool is great but if I didn't know better I'd say this seems like an astroturfed effort by WordPress to stay relevant.

Existing AI tools alongside other open-source builders (Puck for React, Primo for Svelte, etc.) equals all the good things about WordPress's "WYSIWYG-ness" minus all the unnecessary bloat that's piled up over the years.

WP is still by far the most popular CMS [1] and runs a large part of the internet. So I'm pretty sure it's still relevant.

The power of WordPress lies in its community, branding, and marketplace. The options you mentioned simply don't compete in these areas.
