I came across ticket #61210 on the WordPress core trac system . The ticket has similar information about the issue, it seems there haven’t been any recent updates on a potential patch. As it might be a Gutenberg Issue and if there was a conscious decision not to support PHP templates, but it is very likely that this was missed….

Did they stop supporting php files as custom templates? I’ve tested registering my .php templates that are located under /templates in theme.json but it only works for html files.

Am I missing anything?

// offers.php located in /templates
// with/without index.php in /templates - Block editor template dropdown will not show Swap Template
{
  "version": 3,
  "customTemplates": [
    {
      "name": "offers",
      "postTypes": ["page"],
      "title": "Offers"
    }
  ]
}

Since upgrading to 6.5 from 6.4 I’ve been using the quick edit work-around, thanks @justincodes
but would definitely want information on why this is happening.
