Comment (by alexvorn2):

 Replying to [comment:4 westonruter]:
 > @alexvorn2 but in your proposal won't widget areas always be empty when
 you switch to a new theme the first time? The key user need is to port
 widgets across themes. This doesn't seem to be accounted for in your
 proposal.

 If you left an empty sidebar before a theme switch, then yes when you
 switch back to your old theme - you will see a empty sidebar, but if you
 switch it for the first time we can fill the first sidebar with default
 widgets.
 But as the new trend here is to have custom widgets bundled with the theme
 like Twenty Seventeen, it makes sense that theme developers to do the same
 for their new themes.
