Comment:

 Just to be clear, this issue is not specific to the 2017 theme. That theme
 was used as an example. I had the same problems with my own theme, because
 the options involved are core options stored in theme_mod by code that is
 in core.
 I just tested WP 6.8.1 and the Customizer is still available, and used by
 thousands of themes that came before the site editor. Even with the 2021
 theme, the option to hide the Site Title and Tagline is there (core
 option), but that theme doesn't use the core option for Header Text color.
 So I think you(@callumbw95) didn't look at the real issue closely enough
 to see the truth. The code is still part of the WP product and it is still
 broken.

 Aside: I used wpsandbox to quickly test this, and although I don't know
 what they do to configure a blank test site(strangely the Dashboard had no
 widgets), they have it set to start with the 2020 theme, which uses
 Customizer but not these particular options. Maybe your "modern" workflow
 is not embraced by everyone.
