I agree that their current location is an issue. (1)

At the same time, if parcel owners got more control, I'd need
to use sky settings controls much less. Finding a decent / good
lighting setting for any place would be easier and quicker;
and better, because good content builders would also choose
the appropriate light settings.

So I see two separate issues here: 
1. the UI one is about usability - it looks like an easy fix, that 
may be solved the same way as 'Gestures', 'Camera' controls 
got implented in the bottom bar (e.g., you can hide them);
2. the parcel/estate owner controls, that I see as a needed
sort of 'content experience' improvement.

(1) 
as a workaround, here's an easy XML patch for those who 
often tweak sky settings - as said, it's a workaround, 
not a solution.
