Description

If you set the following in your theme.json...

"settings": {
    "blocks": {
        "core/image": {
            "lightbox": {
                "enabled": false,
                "allowEditing" false
            }
        }
    }
}

...rather than persisting as false in the in-memory representation of the theme.json, these values are filtered out.

While functionally these values being undefined rather than false may result in the same behavior in most cases, this appears to be a bug and makes it difficult to achieve consistency in #54544 and #54635.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. In the screen-block.js file, add a console.log for rawSettings around line 95.
2. Open your web inspector and go to the Image settings in the Global Styles.
3. See that the lightbox.allowEditing: true from the default Gutenberg theme.json is visible in the logged statement as expected.

4. Modify your theme's theme.json to include the following setting to overwrite the default allowEditing value:

"settings": {
    "blocks": {
        "core/image": {
            "lightbox": {
                "allowEditing" false
            }
        }
    }
}

5. Revisit the Image settings in the Global Styles, and see that the rawSettings no longer contains a value for lightbox at all.
