Wordpress has the ability create varying image sizes built-in, why don't themes take advantage of this? Why not also use defaults, where an image already uploaded is chosen as featured image or in other uses unless otherwise specified?

Still worse, you won't find any of this out until after you've already purchased the theme. There's no pre-sale access to documentation or help files. Refunds even immediately after a purchase where you find this out is difficult. Support is lacking.
