> There’s a reason the first Mac showing black text on a white background was such an improvement
Apple soon started offering a dark mode as an accessibility feature https://kalleboo.com/linked/mac_closeview_control_panel.png

Accessibility features are often the bellwether of the needs of abled users as well.
When Apple introduced Liquid Glass, "reduce transparency" was also an accessibility feature.

I use some accessibility features. I know they’re “not just for the disabled”.
But that’s still quite different to me to how people treat dark mode.
I promise you 20/30/40% of people or whatever were not using invert colors on the Mac or Windows.

Yeah, just wait until you are not the target market.
It was not an intended way to use things all the time for a large chunk of the user population.
Not the same.
