Isn't that exactly what users can do, select the layouts which work best for them?

What you seem to be asking for is actually more or different layouts with maybe smaller panels and/or more controls visible. Reasoning for dropping dozens of different layouts the v5 default has was that users tend to use only a few anyway. And Theme adjuster allows to adjust the layouts more dynamically. For a comparison, V5 default has e.g. 19 different TCP layouts. With the new size options that would make 95 layouts just for the TCP alone. Leaving aside the task of making that kind of a theme, honest question for you as an end user, would you be happy scrolling through all that?

If you want the looks of the current default but with some changes, custom themes will be popping up as always. Maybe you could post your needs in the theme forum and somebody might be able to help with that.
