Comment:

 Well, if we just simply require the template-loader.php, instead of wp-
 blog-header.php, it solves the issue of those unnecessary queries. But, I
 am afraid this will break some plugin functionalities, for example in this
 case Query Monitor. The Query Monitor's debug bar doesn't show there if we
 do not call the wp() function.

 I want to propose a different approach. Why don't we modify the
 parse_request() method or the main() method in WP class to not run any WP
 QUERY in the query args is empty?
