That example is flawed. Sidebars define their own default layout, which themes can override if they want.

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.
