Comment:

 See also #30186.

 I'm not sure how well plugin cards like on the "Add Plugins" screen would
 work for installed plugins. It would improve consistency throughout the
 admin, but it would also make the page way longer and harder to scan when
 you have lots of plugins.

 Perhaps we'd need a "hybrid" mode like for media with list and grid view.
 There's a reason Jetpack had to introduce a list table to manage modules
 in addition to their cards implementation and there's a reason for the
 themes list table in the network admin.

 Note: While I'm a bit skeptical about the "Installed Plugins" screen, I
 think plugin cards would be great on the "Import" screen as there are
 currently only 8 importers listed.
