I don't see why. A game with 17 default themes that are perfectly (or close enough to perfect for government work) balanced and then has 17 less well balanced themes, is still more diverse than a game that only has 17 default themes that are perfectly balanced - as long as none of the unbalanced themes are better than the default ones.
Not all play is knife-edge competitive play, so I don't see why all themes must be a real option for that kind of play. So what if you can't expect to win with a certain theme in an intense multi-player game? Winning isn't all there is to having fun, after all.
