Comment:

 I've always viewed the WP_USE_THEMES constant as an approach to disable
 theme templates from loading, not to prevent theme functionality
 altogether.

 A common use case for this constant is when calling WP into other projects
 where you want to get the same data that your site would have, in such a
 case your site would be dependent on the actions and filters utilized by
 the theme, and thus so should your external project.
