Comment (by prionkor):

 Listing another use case of being able to add (fake) templates on the
 dropdown list (also check #33309).

 I have an MVC structured theme.  Where I do not want to create files for
 page templates. Instead all the templates are generated by a master
 factory class placed in the `index.php`. The master class decides and
 calls view classes depending on the request.

 An simplified example if the template file name is `view/no-sidebar.php`
 it will call `View\No_Sidebar` class etc.

 So, in order to achieve that I would need to add new items to the dropdown
 list. Currently I am using blank page template files in order to add items
 on the list.

 I would vote for removing `array_intersect_assoc()` and have to full
 control to developers.
