They used to be built with sortable metaboxes, which would allow the end user to reorder the tiles, or possibly even hide ones they're not interested in. We should look into bringing this functionality back.

A few things that I think could be changed from the previous implementation:

Allow all endpoints to be sorted/hidden -- if the goal is to provide user customization we shouldn't assume that tiles are the thing people want to see first. Charts, tables, and tiles should act consistently.

Management via a linked UI -- I didn't even know you could hide tiles before because I never use Screen Options. A user wouldn't know the tiles were powered by the meta box API so it might be luck of the draw that they ever checked Screen Options.

Definite +1 to that.
