Comment (by celloexpressions):

 #37661 does what I was thinking in [comment:9] within the customizer.

 Once that's back in, the question for this ticket will be what makes the
 most sense for themes in the admin. Should they guide users into the
 customizer so that they can live preview with their content?

 Really, a big question is whether the theme-install previewer should
 remain in core at all. It mimics the customizer UI without any options and
 shows the .org preview. Starter content eliminates the primary advantage
 of using .org at all (having content for fresh/empty sites), so I'd be in
 favor of bringing shiny install & preview to the admin as well, opening
 the live preview in the customizer.
