Comment:

 While WordPress can be used for many purposes, the core functionality is
 to use it as a content management system. A very small percentage of sites
 may use it for other purposes but nowhere near enough to introduce a
 feature to turn off the CMS in WordPress Core. I strongly doubt even 1% of
 sites are using it in this manner.

 It's already possible to use the `register_post_type_args` filter to
 modify the registration of post types to prevent their use and display in
 the admin. The `WP_USE_THEMES` constant exists to prevent the use of
 traditional themes.

 As this is not a common use case for WordPress, I'm closing this ticket as
 unplanned (wontfix).
