Not necessarily, wasn't for me (Oxford, just for specificity). Some universities do mandate, but they do that in .doc format for example. Tell them you write your thesis in LaTeX and often it can be "oh, okay...."

No, many universities only require a front page, the rest is up to you.
My university doesn't even provide this front page in LaTex ...

#5I thought the default style(s) were the results of years of micro tweaking and deep studies of the impact of character positioning and flows by Knuth and that only the default \LaTeX{} style could give that 2% head start or that A instead of a B++ for any essay.
Now we add blue titles ? And sans serif font ?
Sarcasm apart, it looks good. Some links are 404 on the page though (classic thesis, etc.).

#7If the creator is reading this: Your web pages would be immediately improved 100% by adding a link to a PDF file generated using this style, showing most of what goes into a typical thesis. (You could use your own thesis for which it was developed, or just a pile of lorem ipsum.)
I see that you have links to JPEGs of sample pages, but this would be much better. [EDITED to add: I am not suggesting that you remove the JPEGs. They don't do any harm.]

Mine autogenerates the front and just inserts it at the start of my pdf file.

#9For mine I used KOMA-Script Package (scrbook) http://www.dickimaw-books.com/latex/thesis/thesis-screen.pdf (and for official documentation: http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/nonstd/koma-script.pd...).

Indeed, blue titles evoke MS Word. As pointed out, a PDF rendered with this style would be great help in understanding it. Perhaps it's a good choice for on-screen reading, but shouldn't you go with serif typefaces when laying out for print?
