    Thinking this could be a better practice for all standard setups:

        Are you suggesting this for the default setup? There are already plugins that do this (and indeed many of our customers have randomized tables). IIRC, it's one of those security plugins. The Developer edition is vanilla, the intent is not to change the defaults.

        On a side note, this whole table name randomization is .. questionable. Pretty much no app outside WP does this, it's not really needed when apps are deployed properly. But only needed maybe because people install plugins. Also, see https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/12/wordpress-table-prefix/
