Comment (by tellyworth):

 Thanks for the feedback everyone! I didn't expect this would be
 controversial.

 I've deployed a commit that adds an opt-out toggle so plugin committers
 can disable the Live Preview button. It's on the Advanced view, same place
 as the self-service buttons to close or transfer a plugin.

 I want to note that this feature (and the opt-out) is simply for the Live
 Preview button which takes you to the Playground
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/]. Playground has been live
 for some months now; if your plugin looks broken in Playground, it was
 broken before this ticket and it remains broken in Playground if you opt
 out of the Live Preview button.

 I know the Playground team is hard at work on addressing bugs and
 compatibility issues there. And I intend to further improve the Live
 Preview support in the plugin directory to make things better for users
 and plugin developers alike. Many of your concerns can be addressed using
 Blueprints https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/blueprints-
 api/index which will allow configuring and installing dependencies,
 importing demo content, and other neat things. I'll work on making
 Blueprint support available as soon as I've confirmed some engineering
 details with the Playground team.
