Although most people who complain about this do because it doesn't fit
into their fancy theme, there is a much better reason for it:
accessibility.

Some people get *blinded* by hard contrasts (like the black & white that
the current notifications use), while other bad-sighted people might
actually *need* such a contrast (maybe even more).  That's why there are
high-contrast & low-contrast accessibility themes.  So there is no way
to make the notifications work for all people without making them
themeable...
