I wish WordPress would help clean up its plugin/theme ecosystem and have raised this point multiple times in their annual community surveys. One major issue is that most of the plugins should be released as GPL since WordPress is GPL licensed and the plugins extend its APIs. VCV Rack, a modular audio environment, is a good example where all plugins are GPL unless getting a commercial license from the core developer(s). Another thing would be to encourage consistent documentation and support channels, rather than every plugin using its own forum and documentation site. Drupal is an excellent example of an ecosystem of GPL modules with the consistent backing and documentation channels.
