I agree that global theme settings are confusing. For most sites, a lot of the settings aren't really applicable anyway. For most sites I've worked on there are no user pictures, nor are there comments. It also doesn't make sense for "User verification status in comments" to be configurable per-theme (or in global theme settings). This should be comment.module settings. I don't know any site that would set the shortcut icon (favicon) per theme either, it's always global.
My suggestion would:
- Remove "User pictures in posts" and "User pictures in comments" from global settings. They can stay in themes that support them.
- Move "User verification status in comments" to
/admin/config/people/accounts
as a form alter in comment.module - Move "Shortcut icon" to
/admin/config/system/site-information
Then we can remove global theme settings.

I'm not sure about removing "user pictures" entirely, as I have quite a few sites where user (or avatar) pictures are included for both their authored content, profile pages, comments, etc.
But the current implementations are done using a new media entity image field for users, so this would need some major rework to be modern anyway.

I'm not talking about removing user pictures entirely, I said remove the setting from "global theme settings". It should be per theme, if it's something the theme can handle.
