 Custom Post Types are great, but it has been used for many things (like
 WooCommerce Products) in the past/present that really should be stored as
 custom tables. I thing its great to start looking into creating the idea
 of "Custom Objects". I think Hubspot has a great example we can learn from
 for building this out in WordPress.

 WordPress can start by introducing rest endpoints to create/updated/delete
 "Custom Objects". These endpoints can be used to create the custom tables
 (maybe meta tables), and later features such as associations, like
 taxonomies.
