 users' perspective. The Live Preview provides them the ability to alter
 the look and feel of their site as a whole. They don't care if the
 individual setting falls under Appearance, Settings, or elsewhere.

 Definitely hear ya and agree for the typical theme. But when doing a very
 specific custom site for one client, those settings often don't do much
 and don't effect the front end of the site at all. Any "extra" setting
 that does not actually effect the site just confuses things. But since we
 can use that customize_register hook, it's all good. :)
