Yes, that's actually my opinion, too. Why bother? What's the point? What does it do to improve the functionality of the device?

I will say though, that's how I look at it from a technical standpoint. To me, the phone is a device to perform certain functions with, and that's all I view it as.

Other people love to personalize and accessorize their stuff, despite the fact it does nothing to change how the device works. Like racing stripes or flames painted on a car. Having your phone bedecked with jewels. Lots of other examples could be had.

I do remember back in the days of ResEdit when you could customize just about everything in the Mac interface. Or, with the help of, what were they called, system extensions(?) you could do things without the low-level editing. And then spend days trying to isolate the conflicts on start-up. Different times.

Well, that certainly puts Focus to good use. /s
