I'm photosensitive, and it's no longer possible for me to dim the 
device far enough to not hurt my eyes.  I can get it close, but 
the brightness seems to reset to default every time the screen 
turns off/on.

Having a new default theme isn't an issue, but preventing it from 
being customized seems like a step in the wrong direction.
