I strongly agree with Adam here.
Also, defaults are for *every* users, they should not target beginners
over experienced users.
IMHO the best way to target different kinds of users is to write Emacs
themes for them.
We could advertize these themes more prominently on orgmode.org.
Would you like to write a theme, publish it and reference it on Worg?
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html on how to contribute
to Worg.
Thanks,
