I don't seem able to run this properly and it's always on "Activate" not "Network Activate" as intended.

Did the following:

1. Install as multisite
2. Fetch PR and checkout
3. Run npm run build:dev
4. Restart Docker
5. Run npm run env:start
6. Test on ​http://localhost:8889/wp-admin/network/plugin-install.php?tab=featured

I also double check if the code from ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9844 is on Docker container and confirmed it's there:

Hey @nikunj8866 - since you are able to successfully test based on your report, any additional steps you did in order to make it working on your end?

Actually never mind - I was able to make it work after several repetitive builing the assets and test on separate incognito browser.

This patch works on my end!
