They can actually afford building several versions: one for revular joe user, and one highly customisable power users. They can even allow (gasp) plugins!

I mean, Winamp had skins and plugins more than 20 years ago. Surely it isn't some hopelessly lost skill, like making the roman concrete or the greek fire?!

nope, but big companies are more arrogant now, they know best, and the user has less choice.

Skins might also get in the way of showing ads.
