Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, thanks for the ticket and the PR!

 This has been previously proposed in #35151 and #47100, which were both
 closed. See the explanations here:
 * comment:3:ticket:23249
 * comment:3:ticket:24368
 * comment:3:ticket:35151
 * comment:7:ticket:35151
 * comment:1:ticket:47100

 To summarize:
 * The primary use of the `WP_CONTENT_DIR` and `WP_CONTENT_URL` constants
 is not to rename the folder, it's to support subdirectory installations
 with WordPress as an external.
 * The `WPINC` is not designed to be overridden or set in configurations,
 and definitely should not be set for the purposes of having a custom
 includes directory, as that is fundamentally not supported by WordPress.
