In civil engineering circles, it's known that a room which is too bright will cause eye strain and fatigue. There is an optimal level of light for the eyes to be most effective. But the computer makers and UI designers don't take this into account. Dark themes transmit less light to the eyes, causing less fatigue over time.

Not that the designers of our world are guilty of some sinister CONSPIRACY. They simply see awful-white as the only choice based on tests or they are just imitating what they know.
