TYPO3 refers to itself as an enterprise content management *framework*.

Thus integrating an already build HTML template into TYPO3 is a common task 
for integrators.

On top of that, TYPO3 needs many adoptions for extensions because it misses 
a common guideline on how to create extension templates (HTML structure and 
class/CSS).
Furthermore there are multiple template approaches where most of them 
require additional extensions to be installed.

Looking at the need of most integrators and the possibility to easily 
integrate any given HTML markup via automaketemplate/TypoScript, I think it 
is not very surprising that a so small amount of templates exists.


To be honest, if you really have a simple site with one domain, a few pages 
and some news, you better use another CMS like Drupal that comes with many 
templates. There is nothing wrong with using TYPO3, but it is not worth 
learning all the stuff you need to know for TYPO3 of your are not going to 
take advantage of it.

Cheers
