The user might ask: "Where did my customizations disappear to?" -- Since the user might not be aware that the customizations would yield bad results on the new display, this is a legitimate question. Emacs will seem less "predictable" (for lack of a better word to describe this aspect of usability). Your reply did not address the issue. You therefore assume this is no problem? It is not a major problem. It is normal that Emacs selects different color values etc. on different displays. This is just a special case of that.
