Comment (by xkon):

 This wasn't just for developers AFAIC. The idea is to avoid simple users
 going into wp-config.php as well to enable WP_DEBUG since most of the
 times the next question would be 'What is FTP?'

 If you see it clearly from a support point of view a 'user' needs to do 2
 clicks and return with the information needed to the developer that
 supports him/her without having to go back and forth to enable a siple
 informational screen. I see it the same with the debug.log.

 Having it as a Plugin for the time being ( even forever as well ) makes a
 lot more sense as more things could be easily implemented or changed and
 pushed on production for anyone to have access to. Plus a plugin has
 pretty much the same steps on getting it installed & activated than having
 it built in as well, no major difference there, it's just 1 extra click
 and a search nothing more.
