Because that panel isn't Gnome's, even when they look the same.
But OSes are not intended to release a thousand themes to please everybody. It's like trying to please all with food, music or sex. I can tell it, people asked me for 8 different combinations of Box theme for Lubuntu. And if possible 14 icon colours variations.
I'll be happy if only main theme works as expected, and I'm doing my best, trust me.
And I love cynicism, it's the salt of life ;)

Thank you for the additional viewpoints you took the time to point
out.
They are all valid.
I have tended to become cynical, seeing the amazing variety of
choices of color-schemes (two) available in Ubuntu Unity, and no
longer being able to put useful applets in the task-bar (a Gnome
thing, I think).
Anyway, I should restrain my cynicism.

Hi Aere,
To be honest I wouldn't say Ubuntu is capable of 'marching away
from customization'.
The only move the Unity desktop has made away from customization
this release is the placement of the window buttons, but this is
because they added a feature users have been requesting for a long
time.... the menu bar back in the windows. You can still theme
and customize Unity in the same ways as before, minus the buttons
being on the right hand side.
Of course you can customize it completely in every aspect by
installing from the mini iso, and only installing the packages you
want. You can even install a DE or WM and customize it.
If you want full control of customization it is available.
You are still not able to move the launcher panel, but this
feature hasn't been available before. But there are more options
to customize the setup than there were, such as the launcher's
size.
So, I only can see 1 less option, and at very least 2 more
options.
This release has shown that they are listening to the community
(they even re-added click the launcher to minimize... though you
need ccsm)
The removal of color customization in Lubuntu is a bug, not a
design feature, and I think Rafael is sleuthing to find the root
cause of this regression.
Also, I have not seen the black bar issue yet on the machines I am
using. I do like that Firefox has finally caught up with
Thunderbird's UI.
