I think that's the key point there. Light themes are good in light, but bad in dark situations, and vice versa. "Most" people prefer light, because they use their computer mostly in the light. Many programmers etc. prefer dark because they use their computers late in the dark a lot.
These are basically two "modes" of use, but software has been treating this as a preference, rather than a mode switch.
Through a set up of PowerShell/Bash scripts, I now have global dark/light mode switches on all my devices and I feel like this is the first time I can really use them effectively in all situations. Light when there's light, dark when there isn't. I even switch on the train as it goes through a tunnel. IMO, this is how it should be used, not as a set-and-forget preference.
