Comment:

 This used to be `is_main_site()` until [17510], which fixed #16652 with
 the decision: "Anchor network and user admins at the network domain and
 path rather than at the main site."

 `is_main_site()` uses the `blog_id` property of the current network object
 while the network admin URL is generated using the network object's domain
 and path. The main site of a network can exist at a different domain and
 path from the network site URL.

 I see the temptation in switching, but I think we need to stick with
 current behavior.
