Some people use it for overlaying themes on top of the default theme,
e.g. for different.

You could just do something like this, I guess:

(defun my/load-theme ()
       "call load-theme, but disable all themes first"
       (interactive)
       (call-interactively 'load-theme)
       (mapc 'disable-theme (cdr-safe custom-enabled-themes)))
