I agree.
Matching the headliner color with the seats may be reasonable, but trim is a personal taste. But forcing wood decor with black leather seats are non sense.
I just specced a Toyota for fun and it was quite a similar experience in how interior color and materials etc. were bundled.
This is pretty much unheard of in the premium automotive landscape, though.
Go spec your average Audi A6 (the more closely to Tesla priced A8 has even more) and they have like 12 different textiles and 12 different decors and four different roof materials to pretty freely choose from. That's like 500+ combos. And that's before including asking them to custom build you something else, which they have dedicated divisions/services doing too...
Tesla now has 4 textiles and 3 decors tightly bundled into only 9 different combos. That is Toyota territory, not Premium car.
(Audi A6 also has something like 25 exterior colors compared to Tesla's recently limited 7. Plus of course you can order any color you want too at an extra cost and have many more other exterior styling options.)
