An admirable standard to set yourself, but a lot don't. That's not
going to change anytime soon. Everybody has their own way of doing
things.

I put in the work to understand what my theme does. A poor example -
when Piers posted the sidebar solution it took me two seconds to
replace it. If I couldn't be bothered to have done that initial work
to understand what was going on, and relied on other people to put
the work in then I wouldn't have a clue and it would have took me
ages to try and fix the issue or ask someone else to do it.
Which is where your idea comes in.
But.
Bottom line is that people aren't going to comply to your prospective
standard just to make your life easier. Can't see it happening.
