For the amount of time I spend on the home screen, I can find any enthusiasm for removing/resizing/whatever items from it.

So for my purposes, anything I might want to do in patching is already handled in my editing. I've attached a sample screenshot of an epub page which I haven't finished with but is close to done.
I like my side margins a tiny bit larger, but that also increases top and bottom margins, so that those are a bit too large. So I decrease top and bottom margins with a patch.

I don't use really microscopic font sizes, but being extremely nearsighted, I like more options on the smaller side - again, a patch gives them to me. Same with line height - I remove it from the css, but I like more options on the narrower side on my Kobos.

And while I also spend very little time on the home screen, I still don't want to see any recommendations. They're irritating and I can't stand them.

And so on. We all have our preferences - yours are satisfied with Kobo defaults, while I find my perfect layout with the help of patches, in addition to editing.
