Comment (by kasparsd):

 Built [https://github.com/kasparsd/wordpress-develop/pull/1 a prototype]
 to check the amount of changes required to make the theme details popup
 match the plugin lightbox:

 1. Update `install_theme_information()` in `wp-admin/includes/theme-
 install.php` to match the plugin
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/install_plugin_information/
 install_plugin_information()].

 2. Introduce `install_theme_install_status()` and
 `wp_get_theme_action_button()` to match the plugin counterparts
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/install_plugin_install_status/
 install_plugin_install_status()] and.
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_plugin_action_button/
 wp_get_plugin_action_button()].

 Considering that theme and plugin detail views during install and update
 are radically different, **I'm wondering if we should simply append the
 readme sections to the existing detail views instead?**
