I feel like it's just a matter of it being easy enough to scroll by. Most people don't regularly install add-ons or themes, and will never get too familiar with the UI to know to select one or the other, nor will they be annoyed by having to scroll past themes.
Plus, you might search for an add-on, but randomly scroll past a cool theme and because themes are so easily digestible, you'll immediately know that you want it or not.
Which isn't to say, I'm completely foreign to your pain. I prefer to keep the unpersonalized OS aesthetic, so even a cool theme wouldn't get installed by me. Albeit, I haven't gotten annoyed enough by it so far.
Having said that, if you install add-ons that often, maybe you'd like to add a custom search bookmark.

I did that a while ago but I never remember to use it :(
