Comment:

 My interpretation of the request is either WordPress cleans up after all
 plugins when they are removed/uninstalled (which is impossible because
 WordPress will never know everything associated with every plugin), or an
 API that allows plugins to register data, tables, etc. that should be
 removed when the plugin is removed.

 I am of the opinion that this is not something WordPress should handle,
 and it's the responsibility of each individual plugin.

 Since this has not received any further feedback, I'm going to close this
 one out. If @cadentic2018 is able to provide clarification and it seems
 like something that is realistic and within the project's priorities, this
 can be reopened for exploration.
