Comment:

 @alexvorn2 Two Customizer component maintainers (one of whom is a core
 developer) have already concurred that adding a hook for customizer.php
 isn't the way to go.

 As @westonruter alluded, simply adding a hook similarly to how widgets.php
 is implemented is not comparable – the Customizer is almost entirely
 JavaScript driven and has a vastly different architecture.

 The Customizer also isn't strictly considered the front-end or back-end,
 but rather a middle ground, so using 'admin' nomenclature would be
 incorrect in this context. That middle-ground state is largely why there
 are Customizer-specific hooks that already enable you to implement what
 you're trying to do, as explained by @westonruter above.

 As much as it seems annoying to have to accommodate a different
 implementation for the Customizer, it's a reality of an evolving codebase.

 '''I'm re-closing this as wontfix.'''
