I would love to see a broadly accepted and clear definition of 'non-essential'
in the UI/software?
Me expects to get dozens - IOW: it's rather subjective.

That is not different to what happens when applying a style in the Manage

Yes, maybe a bit opaque .. still people would need to learn/see the meaning.

See before: it is standing practice - and a different subject, so pls open a
