This is a question for people who are involved in creating WordPress. It’s not a critic, just a honest question.
Why is the Themes directory a Backbone JS app, and the Plugin directory is mostly a traditional PHP implementation?
Also, the way the API returns results for both cases is different.
Why didn’t core makers choose one consistent way to do both directories? They are both pretty much the same thing: *fetch items and allow them to be installed/activated*.
I ask because I am working on a fork of WordPress without Gutenberg ([WP CMS]), and I want to understand this situation.

Not a helpful answer, but I think WP code is a mess overall.
