And I say that I don't think the devs intended that at all because they're giving us the free fantasia, because they anticipated that people would have to make changes to more closely match (or make different!) their character to their original look.
some elaboration here before I stop prattling, my context is that I work in tech and I have. never. seen a straight import work out of the box. I currently live in Upgrade Hell right now at work because we have an ancient system that we can't just press a big ol import button for and have it turn out working. If I have to import a model into blender I must tell it which way is up, otherwise the model will be upside down or turned inside out. You can't just stick a Skyrim mod into a script for Special Edition and have it come out working like before (RIP wearable lanterns). Your Python 2 code has to be changed to work in Python 3. And so on. Every upgrade process in anything is holding your breath and hope it doesn't break things too much, so it was kind of strange to me to see people immediately do a before and after like "this sucks!" out of the gate without attempting to alter it.
