I think this PR is going to create more issues that it solves, mainly because if you select a post type, you can't set the query to "inherit" true.

There are more nuances than inherit. An example is the isActive, existing Posts List variation, Pages List block etc.. Also I'm pretty confident that we used to need the other query attributed due to the way we handle object attributes in general..

Ok, then maybe we need to change the name depending on the main query that the current template is on.

Also, there's already a "Posts List" variation, we should probably remove that then

Removed it here: #63404

If we'd remove the Posts List variation, it should be done here and definitely not in it's own PR without having the alternative landed..
Please see the issue I linked above for some more nuances.
Additionally as @Mamaduka also mentions, this should be done server side and avoid all this complexity in the client and the subscription.

Also see #63353 description where I share some thoughts on this.

I was going to close this PR because of the issues? Not sure if it makes sense to add the variations at all, if it has to inherit the query, we should probably dynamically name it based on what the main query is.

We can use server-side variation registration here. All post-type data is already available on the server. See the Post Terms block example: |

There is an old issue for this: #40941. There were some nuances discussed there.. |

What?
Adds a query loop block variation for each post type so it shows up in the inserter when searching for "posts", "pages", "portfolio" (custom post types), etc.
Also adds the "blog" keyword for the post variation.
Why?
It doesn't show up if you search for it with these words.
How?

Another nice thing is that you get a preview for that particular post type. For example I had no posts a this site, but I did have pages.
