Let's take a simple example which has happened in the past. Typo goes and
adds a new sidebar which requires some new style.
Two things could happen here. Either:
1. Every theme becomes broken because they haven't yet added any code to
explicitly handle this new sidebar. Or:
2. Every theme still works because they're all inheriting from the base
theme which at least has a sensible default style.
It doesn't take a degree in astrophysics to see which of these two scenarios
is better, and it would take a pretty narrow mind to think that this is "just
making my life easier." The fact of the matter is, it would make life easier
for every theme designer, not to mention every end user.
