Looks like this will remove the last usage of the @automattic/page-pattern-modal package:

https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/ffded3095b985669a55ac53edf08414f848fcebd/packages/page-pattern-modal

You should definitely consider removing it from Calypso once this lands.

Hi @tyxla, Yes I plan to remove it from Calypso I already have a PR ready Automattic/wp-calypso#99178 which I will rebase after landing this one.
