JupyterLab 3.0 is about to be released and provides many improvements to the extension system. Theming is a way to extend JupyterLab and benefits from those improvements.
While theming is often disregarded as a purely cosmetic endeavour, it can greatly improve software. Theming can be great help for accessibility, and the Jupyter team pays attention to making the default appearance accessibility-aware by using sufficient contrast. For users with a high visual acuity you may also choose to increase the information density.
Theming can also be a great way to improve communication by increasing or decreasing emphasis of the user interface, which can be of use for teaching or presenting. Theming may also help with security, for example, by having a clear distinction between staging and production.
Finally Theming can be a great way to express oneself, for example, by using a branded version of software that fits well into a context, or expressing one's artistic preferences or opinions.
