The user does intend to use these themes, just not right away and not
all of them. It's a valid use case to want to switch to another
theme, e.g. because someone wants one theme in the morning and another
in the evening.

I don't think you are missing anything, you just disregard everything
I say in response and keep repeating the same claims and questions.
That's not a useful discussion method. I'm tempted to stop responding
because it just wastes my time. Sorry for being blunt.

So loading the theme will enable it, but disabling will not unload it?
Then how to I re-enable a theme that was disabled? by loading it the
second time?

Themes are not like modes, they are in effect in the entire Emacs
session, in all of the buffers. You cannot evade a theme by going to
another buffer like you do with modes.
