 Hi @brianhenryie,

 Thanks for the ticket and welcome to Trac!

 This was intentionally omitted in the first pass of the endpoint. The
 thinking was that if there were issues with the endpoint it would limit
 potential damage by only allowing vetted plugins to be installed onto the
 site.

 Now that we're two years out from the endpoint landing in WP 5.5, I think
 we can consider opening the endpoint up more to allow installing custom
 plugins.
