As someone who had cataracts and even after the corrective operations still has the significant sensitivity to glare, dark mode is not just a nice-to-have, but an absolute necessity for me.

I.e. it's an accessibility issue to some people, so don't laugh it off as "just a preference" or try to beat down any disagreeing voices with studies on only healthy eyes.




I am the author and I have astigmatism, part way through I explain that I don’t mind dark mode at all. I mind the zealotry.
