I agree with your idea. Also offering documentation about customizing the theme would be of great help.

The default theme could be a Progressive Web App

@fredsif I think Peertube itself should be considered as somewhat of a cms. It can, but doesn't need another cms again on top of it, it might cause even more overhead.

Why not a dedicated directory where the stylesheets and Javascript-files are located, like on Own-/Nextcloud?

Not everyone understands the decentralization aspect of PT and that every admin can customize everything on their PT instance and some think of PT as of a centralized video platfom, because it looks mostly the same across all instances. One way to fix that would be to let PT instance owners pick from 3 different, pre-built themes, during their initial instance setup. I believe the results of this will help non-tech-savvy people understand decentralization and that almost everything about PT can be modified.
