A URL that can't be embedded will not throw an error, but silently convert to a paragraph block. This deviates from core behaviour.
WordPress should throw an error that it couldn't be embedded and give you either a retry option or to convert it to a link, as it does for atomic sites and in core.
The embed fails silently and is automatically converted to a link. The user is not told what happened or why.

Users will likely choose to convert it to a link regardless, but this became an interaction due to the lack of feedback. Converting it to a link, if silently, is better than stripping the failed embed.

I ran into a case with this in 35990166-hc:
The URL for the embed fails in this particular page, but it works on others. And this particular page allows embeds for other URLs, just not this one.
The current workaround is to use the button block instead, for now.
It looks as though this issue was reported on another post as updated here: 5351542-zd-woothemes
