Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [ticket:31104 Mike_Cowobo]:
 > Overriding `$current` and `$network_wide`, a plugin could potentially
 deactivate all active plugins on activation or activate itself network
 wide when activated per-site (or vice-versa).

 Just noting that the issue with `$current` appears to be resolved in
 [32504] / #32368, as the value is now recreated after the plugin is
 loaded. The issue with overriding `$network_wide` still exists though, so
 it seems more future-proof to go with the patch.
