That's just false. Just because it's open source doesn't mean Automattic doesn't want to turn into a SqaureSpace model. There is no doubt in my mind that the pivot and ramming through of Gutenberg is because they are scared of things like SquareSpace and feel they need to evolve fast. They do need to evolve, but they also need to stop cutting corners and listen to the community...It won't be long (it might already be true) that the "Classic Editor" plugin will have more active installs than any other plugin in the repo. That's a LOUD message from the community that "this is not ready!" I have sites that are Gutenberg compatible but I still have the classic editor on, because it's a giant mess.
Gutenberg from my experience is a server hog compared to the classical Wordpress. It's harder on database servers and on memory. Yet they won't even change their PHP practices to make it 7+ requirement.
