Comment (by rajinsharwar):

 Just to put some context, we use wp_redirect() in multiple places in the
 core where we want to continue the page processing after doing the
 redirect. So, exiting within the function will break the core a lot, as
 well as plugins or themes using it, in case they are also processing after
 redirect.

 Examples from core:
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/33f443597f25bcfdc25cfbd73e57e601227ea809/src/wp-
 admin/update.php#L85
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/33f443597f25bcfdc25cfbd73e57e601227ea809/src/wp-admin/nav-
 menus.php#L608
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/33f443597f25bcfdc25cfbd73e57e601227ea809/src/wp-admin/user-
 edit.php#L122
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/33f443597f25bcfdc25cfbd73e57e601227ea809/src/wp-
 admin/includes/plugin.php#L667
 ...

 My opinion is to close this as won't-fix.
