It makes it easier to understand what this is and that they are interconnected, but I think I enjoy unique branding/themes more in practice now that I am actually using the fediverse.

On theming, akin to Linux, I don't think there's much room for breakthroughs, or at least they'd be harder to achieve, being more a case of picking the "flavor" you want instead. Furthermore, I think this applies to UI as a whole in social medias, federated ones included.
