Comment (by oglekler):

 Check if the installation has correct hashes of files in it according to
 WordPress version can be a great improvement.

 I replaced one of the core files with file from another one and got a
 Warning, but Site Health sort of not notice it. Such things are happening
 where an update process went wrong. With version 5.5 on a support forum
 were reported issues when some function cannot be declared because it's
 previously redeclared and right now was a case where a new file in an
 installation is missing. It happened because some function was moved to
 another file and this particular installation went not well and fully. A
 manual update has helped each time.

 I think the developer's version can be not checked as fas as the user sees
 the correct version number and information that he is using a developer
 version.
