But then we also don't need to pre-select the font, for example. The reasoning is the same.
We don't need to, true. But pre-selecting the font doesn't come with a downside the way pre-selecting a theme does, nor does it involve extra complication to figure out what we actually need to show.
So, while we don't need to, there's not actually an argument not to in this case. We can pretend like "Font" is merely a setting safely because it does actually work in a way indistinguishable from single-value settings. We can't pretend like "themes" work the same as single-value settings ever, because they change other things. Nor can we even simulate treating them like single-value things without special case code to determine if those other settings have changed, and fallback cases for what to do if they have.
