Comment:

 Hi @tazotodua,

 I completely agree with you here - however, this is the theme adding the
 plugin install option here, not WordPress.

 Unfortunately WordPress/PHP does not have the ability to prevent an
 installed theme or plugin from offering such functionalities.

 You should report this to the author of the plugin and request multisite
 compatibility be added to the theme.
 If it's a theme you got from WordPress.org, I'd be interested in knowing
 which one.

 I'm marking this as invalid as it's not an issue in Core, discussion may
 continue while the ticket is closed though.
