Comment (by ahortin):

 Here's one more example of why it's such an issue hiding sidebars. This is
 a screenshot from a post someone made just yesterday in one of the
 WordPress groups that I belong to, on Facebook.

 He obviously has no idea that you can actually navigate the Customizer
 Live Preview, and after explaining to him that he can, he's still not
 going to have any idea where to navigate to because he doesn't know where
 the widgets are located.

 So basically, he has two choices. He can exit the Customizer and go to the
 more useful Appearance > Widgets page where he can actually see
 everything, or, navigate to every page on his site in the Customizer until
 he finds them.
