Re: Customisation != setting pretty colours
"What use is..."
It's, along with every other retrograde step in UI design over the past decade or thereabouts, a job creation scheme for the latest generation of UI designers/ego-boosting scheme for the latest generation of product managers - if you're not being seen to be doing something obvious, then you're clearly not necessary or important... Merely tweaking and fine tuning an existing design to keep it working as intended is not sufficient, you MUST be bold, you MUST think BIG, you MUST treat the work of your predecessors as utterly valueless and fit only for the scrapheap, as you strive to stamp your vision on what you think a UI should be, decades of hard-earned research and experience be damned!
As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of modern UIs...
