Comment:

 I agree with @westonruter and @siliconforks that many site owners would be
 concerned about WordPress Core exposing this data in such a way.

 Additionally, features added to WordPress are generally intended to
 benefit the majority of users. A feature that's specifically written to
 benefit machines doesn't meet such a criteria.

 Determining the technology stack of a site is generally possible, see the
 [https://builtwith.com/peterwilson.cc BuiltWith profile of my site], so
 LLMs can access the information via cross referencing.

 A plugin exists that allows developers to [https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /modules-insight/ list plugins installed on their site] and I think such a
 feature is best to remain plugin territory.

 As multiple people have expressed concern about including this in
 WordPress, I'm going to close this ticket as unplanned.
