Holding on to core values is commendable but ultimately pointless on board a sinking ship. If WP wants to get enough market share to survive, it has to allow some user customization. Yes, some users will put the most ugly backgrounds that you will ever see but it's their phone so it's their prerogative. An alternate choice is to alienate them completely from your platform and go for a small niche market while Android conquers the rest of the world. Not everyone in the world is a Picaso. You can't stop someone from purchasing a Ferrari and put cow bells on it. Just don't do it on yours.
