Of course that does not at all count for all situations. It’s more the other way round.
I am learning a lot about responsive design, clamp and math functions and CSS variables, frameworks, BEM class names, etc.
And I noticed that it takes quite some time to learn to do web design properly (whatever that means, but I think you’ll understand).
When I try to use a ready-made theme, it means all of those things are not taken care of.
TWO big issues
1. everything is done in pixel
2. everything is done locally and not with global classes
Fixing that, is way more work I think.
Do you think I am completely wrong with this or did I get that right?

Don’t waste time fixing a theme unless it’s really close to what you want, not just visually- but code standards too.
The theme author is responsible for the theme markup and coding decisions, trying to convert a theme to a standard sounds horrible. + the main job of a theme author is to get you to buy their theme.
If anything, create a starter theme using your chosen stack / decisions and open source it.
