I have reviewed the changes, everything works as it should, and I have pushed one commit to remove duplicated get_default_css method, which also wasn't used.

One nitpick, what about replacing PHP implementation for adding the download attribute to anchor tags with JS?

The reasons would be that to me it feels too heavy for what it does and also it is applied only to the post content.

JavaScript implementation could be simple as:

document.querySelectorAll( '.ba-download' ).forEach( ( element ) => {
    element.setAttribute( 'download', '' );
} );

It would be applied to all matched anchor tags, even in footer for example - so it would be possible for users to add direct links to "brand kit" anywhere. The downside is that is that the change cant be cached, like PHP implementation, but performance impact should be minimal.

Thinking about pros and cons, I actually think it's a good idea @ilicfilip. I don't... like the current implementation, because I'd much rather extend the core link block to add it as an option there, seems so much more logical... But let's do this for now.
