Comment (by tabrisrp):

 We have this need too in WP Rocket since recently.

 A use case is for example our RocketCDN service integration. Users are
 able to subscribe to the service from the plugin itself, but we don't want
 them to do that when it's a local or staging site.

 Right now we have our own function to check for that [https://github.com
 /wp-media/wp-
 rocket/blob/c7a020448d6639ca3cb4cddf72195f9d9c18fbec/inc/functions/api.php#L85]
 but a core solution would make it unnecessary, as we could rely on the
 hosts/local solutions to provide that information to WP for the most part
 instead.
