I think it would not be asked too much from a designer to wrap some PHP
around their strings.

In fact, if you provide a properly internationalized default theme, you
allow theme authors to reach a much larger audience. And you would
increase the choice of themes for non-English WP users. The best would
even be to include theme-specific language files, so people learn how to
use language templates. Learning doesn't hurt, does it?
