 Yah. Make sense now. After this explanation. Thanks.

 > > Why I can put some code into WP core, and I know is there and no waist
 more time to go grab the code and paste again. Why need plugin for
 everything?
 >
 > > My suggestions are if WordPress have in Settings a special section,
 where you can add this customs codes, Like Google Tag Manager, Google
 AdSense Code, Or Google Analytics and a section to add your own custom
 code. (Preferable to be able to chose to be added in Body section, Head
 Section, Footer Section)

 > Just to clarify why this request is not a good candidate for Core.
 >
 > Have a look at your own suggestion. You are asking for three specific
 fields to be added, each of which is related to an external vendor. There
 are hundreds of external vendors out there.
 >
 > If WordPress Core would add these three fields, within a day, the next
 vendor will be saying - ''"vendor A (Google) now has an unfair advantage,
 so I want a field for my custom codes to be added to WordPress Core as
 well"''.
 >
 > In the end, there will be hundreds of fields for codes in every single
 site, users will not be able to find the field they want anymore and most
 users will only use one or two of the fields anyway (if at all).
 >
 > Also think about this - adding a field like this for one vendor could
 even lead to the WordPress Foundation (a non-profit) being sued in court
 and stock market regulators getting involved about WordPress unfairly
 influencing the market by giving one vendor an unfair advantage over
 another.
 >
 > So, this is why this is plugin territory. Users can install the plugins
 which are relevant for their integrations. This is something WP Core
 should stay far away from.
