Jason! It's not just a question of the "theme". Some organization have already their own standards which define precisly how their intranet pages are looking. Often thy have alredy hundreds of pages with spcific layout which is completly different then this one which proposed by maven (for example some of them are using html frames) For them it might not only be attrative but simply necessry to have much higher level of customization which will allow to generate what they want. I understand that you intention is to have quite simillar (standard) sites which are easy to browse. It's an appealing goal but I think that most of the users will use the default theme anyway. But if somebody cannot do this or he does not want he should be free to go with his own solution. BTW: in maven1 there are strange relations between site and xdoc plugins. We might imagine that somebody will be able to write his own replecment for xdoc plugin and use it from site plugin.
