Description

#### Steps to reproduce
1. Access a simple site you own or where are an administrator
2. Notice the Action Bar at right-hand the lower corner of the site.
3. Open an atomic site
4. Notice it doesn't have the Action Bar

#### What I expected

To see the action bar on the atomic site. It provides a quick way to edit a page or post. A regular WordPress.org site has this option on the top bar. AT sites completely lose that quick action.

#### What happened instead

The atomic site didn't have the action bar.

#### Context / Source

This was reported by a user who already had a workflow with the action bar. And felt when upgrading to the Business plan they had to go through more steps to do the same they can on a lower plan.

Research direction

Reproduce the missing Action Bar on both a regular site and an atomic site, using the steps and screenshot in the issue. Start by locating the Action Bar entry point and the atomic-site condition; done means the bar appears on atomic sites and still provides the quick edit action. No file or test is named, so expect to trace the relevant frontend code first.
