 existence, and doesn't need to install it again :)

 Yep maybe I'm overthinking. On the other hand, users flows are always
 surprising :) For example, as a user, I might have the plugin installed,
 not activated, and just forgot about it.

 Using something like `( ! is_plugin_active( 'classic-editor/classic-
 editor.php' ) )` wouldn't change things for the "not installed" case. If
 not installed, users will land on the plugin screen > favorite tab and the
 plugin details button will tell them "Install". It not activated, the
 button will tell them "Activate".
