All of the changes mentioned in these legibility threads could be accomplished through theming and Elpa/Melpa packages one could recommend to new users who easier ways to add variable pitch, unobtrusive markup, etc. It would be trivial to point a new user to install them through the package manager. It would be a bad precedent to add idiosyncratic customization options to cater to personal aesthetic preferences. As Adam says, everyone's theming preferences are personal, and they are best addressed through add-on themes and packages. Matt
