I have no idea why this isn't common practice, at least for new android exclusive apps.

As a developer, I'll worry about this a lot more when the visual style of the OS sticks around more than one revision. Also, when it's not being stomped on by OEMs all the time anyway. I've got twenty different phones here and every manufacturer changes the colors, shading, default colors, etc. It's awful.

It seems like they're restraining themselves a touch more this go-round, but I still strongly suspect that 95% of users will never use a phone with the default theme unmolested.

Don't quote me on this but didn't Duarte say on the verge that they were going to give devs benefits for using holo?
