I can understand why they don't have fully customizable hirelings on release, but I really hope they change it in a future update. Kenshi is a great example of the fun that can be had by being able to make a completely custom party. It gives it more of a sandbox feel. Another thing from Kenshi I wish they would implement is not moving the camera to a character by single clicking a portrait. Let me select a character who might be further away with a single click so I can command them to come to the spot that I am looking at. Double click should move the camera to the character, not single click select. Sorry tangent.
