 I've been wanting to use the customizer control
 WP_Customize_Cropped_Image_Control in my theme for years. However, the
 default image needs to have an attachment ID to work in
 WP_Customize_Cropped_Image_Control. Whereas the customizer control
 WP_Customize_Image_Control just uses an URL to display the image.

 When developing a theme the author is left in a conundrum because they
 cannot have a default image display without adding the image to the
 database. However, that in itself would be ill-advised because theme
 developers are not allowed to mess with the database unless the user
 chooses the theme mod option.

 Is there something I'm missing? Could WP_Customize_Cropped_Image_Control
 be made to display a simple URL for the default image?
