Description

Calypso has deprecated the classic editor and removed any way to switch to the classic editor. We're about to switch our users to the block editor as well, but we kept the option for users to switch back to the classic editor as the default.

We want to remove that "Switch Editor" option in the "Site Settings" for most sites except for a few cases:

There might be some other exception and the first task before implementing the fix for that ticket is to list all the cases.

Research direction

Start in the Android Site Settings flow and review the equivalent WordPress iOS issue 14864. First inventory the listed site types and possible exceptions, including self-hosted, Jetpack plugin, and VIP sites. Done means the cases are agreed and the Switch Editor option is removed only where appropriate.
