Comment (by dd32):

 The API has never enforced PHP extensions, that's left to `update-
 core.php` in core which bails if the requirements aren't met.

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/includes
 /update-core.php?marks=1184-1195#L1171

 The reasoning for this is
  - Historically core did not send PHP extensions as part of the update
 payload (and it's optional)
  - The API doesn't (currently) return a `extensions_required` field that
 core could be updated to check against (like it does `php_version`)

 If core would like to update to add a `extensions_required` field to the
 endpoint and have core flag this in the UI prior to attempting the
 upgrade, that's something we can implement on WordPress.org.
