Opening this issue based on some discussion in #32449 around what should happen when changing block styles while the "Use theme styles" option is disabled in the editor (within Preferences -> Appearances). @tellthemachines did a great job explaining some of the complexities around this: #32449 (comment)
While it does feel somewhat like a bug to select a style and see no response, this behavior seems ok to me because it's not the default — by toggling the setting to remove theme styling, one probably expects to lose some degree of WYSIWYG-ness in the editor.
I do think this could potentially be made more clear through a notice that appears at the bottom of Style panels in the inspector when theme styles have been disabled:
The wording could be revised slightly for the Widgets editors until we (potentially) introduce theme styles there. Something to the effect of: Theme styles aren't displayed in the editor but will appear on the front end of your site.
