All I want is to use WordPress as my platform, like a complete headless system and use my own tools for my front-end, be it Vue, React, Angular, even Express if I wanted to!

As it is, I'm forced to depend on a theme...yeah I know I could simply use a nearly empty index.php with a style.css, but the whole thing is, I want flexibility.

Can't we have something like Composer packages, but for WordPress core components?

There are so many things I don't need and I'm forced to load them with every single click...ugh my nerves!
