this just seems like customisation theatre while they pull the ability to actually customise away from everyone.

Its also not that interesting lol. You can resize/reorder some buttons and change the hue of the theme

With Android 17, Google is adding a new Quick Settings layout editor that allows you to arrange pretty much all of the toggles and settings. You can choose which quick toggles to make into bigger tiles and even move the brightness slider and the media player around.

More theming options will make it to the final build. For instance, you can tune the hue of the four main colors via a slider, and some blur effects will also be added.
