Developers of themes for Emacs often target the GUI first, where 24-bit color is the default. If you're a hardcore terminal Emacs user (and there are many legit reasons for this) you're stuck by default with 256 colors, and the themes just don't look right due to having to map the carefully chosen colors to the nearest color in the 256 color palette.
