i didn't mind them when they first came out, its just the numbers that concern me - seems to be about 10 a day - not sure where the devs are finding all the time to build all the themes!
like i said, its a good way of raising awareness of a product, but i don't think the system should be abused - having said that, i would say the consumers of these themes are happy and willing to pay. hardly seems fair to sell these themes for $1 when some people spend weeks building a game and charging the same amount or less.
