Another reason for imoroved SEO for WP/org vs WP/com is that many themes that can be installed only on WP/org are specifically designed for SEo or have a uiltin SEO.   A good example of that is the free Atahualpa theme.

One of the early WP plugins was written by my son Peter Harkins. Because he has moved on to other projects, he has given over the updating to another good programmer. It may be the most popular plugin in terms of how many times it appears on screen.…
