Comment (by Mte90):

 Many plugins implement a status page like WooCommerce to get stats about
 the system.
 So this is an example that developers need to reimplement this things for
 their needs and improve the support or debug.
 For me it will be better to have in the core and enabled (show)
 automatically when WP_DEBUG is turned on. In that way users doesn't need
 to install a plugin to use it only for fix a problem and developers need
 to ask to them to install another plugin (often there are systems where is
 not possible).
 So developers can force the constant or with a new filter to show the
 panel and avoid another plugin.
 After all is only showing systems stats that can be very helpful and we
 avoid to have a specific plugin for debugging when there are different and
 start a war about how is the best or is more standard for this feature.
 Usually all the CMS or web software has a page included about internal
 stats like for permissions and WordPress is the only one without it.
 Sure can be a feature plugin to develop with the plan to merge it in the
 future but not a separate plugin like for the importer that the use case
 are very few instead of a system page.
