List Block V2: Prefilled word "list" isn't greyed-out

[thehenrybyrd]

Describe the bug
When adding a new list item, the word "List" appears, but isn't greyed-out.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make sure you're using Gutenberg 13.8.2, and enable List block v2 in Experiments.
2. Create a new post, and add a list block.
3. Add a few items, noting that each time you add one, the word "List" is prefilled before you start typing. Note that the word "List" is not grey or in any way distinguished from text you have entered.

Expected behavior
I expected the prefilled word "List" to be greyed-out, indicating it's not real text.

Thanks for reporting this @thehenrybyrd 🙇.

I agree that might be confusing to the user that the placeholder is not greyed-out, as it looks like real text. I've set High-priority on this issue as it might disrupt the writing flow experience when the List block V2 will be enabled.
