Comment (by sebastienserre):

 Hello @nazmulhassann20 and many thanks for your suggestion.

 I don't know if it's really a "Good" idea... as I'm not sure the main part
 of WP admin are allowing the registration... as WP is not only for blogs.

 It's a security failure to allow registration by default and source of
 spam ad bot will register.

 Let's see what others are thinking about.
