This (a) turns the table on what we currently do, since currently
load-theme can optionally enable the theme, while you propose to do it
the other way around; (b) rocks the very delicate boat of how themes
are enable, disabled, and prioritized and how they interact with face
setup, so if we go that way, we should expect quite a rocky ride
(suggested reading: custom.el).  Is it really worth that?
