It’s too bad that Classic Mac OS soundsets didn’t make the cut when selecting features to bring over to OS X. I can understand why they might disabled by default but they would’ve been nice to have as an option. Same for Appearance Manager themes, really. That feature was never really marketed much and many users probably didn’t even know they existed since OS 8.5-9.2 only included Platinum, but it was cool to have theming capabilities on par with the third party Kaleidoscope (which is unparalleled on modern operating systems — not even Linux can compare) built right in, but that’s just not something that could’ve happened worth Jobs at the helm.
