 On the plugins screen, a note is displayed inline when there are
 dependencies for that plugin missing.

 > Note: this plugin cannot be activated until the plugins that are
 required by it are activated.

 This sentence should be clarified. Here are some suggestions:
 - This plugin has unmet requirements.
 - This plugin requires the others listed above to be active.
 - The plugins listed above must be active in order to use this plugin.

 I also wonder if this note is even needed. If #60466 is implemented,
 perhaps there could be a "learn more" link next to the dependency list
 that opens and focuses the help tab. We'd need to check on a11y impacts of
 this if that's a chosen route.

 Another alternative I considered is changing the greyed out, disabled
 "Activate" text link to something else.
 - Unmet requirements
 - Missing requirements
 - Missing conditions
