what do you mean

  He/she means that because you can read it doesn't mean everyone can. I can read it fine too, but because I care about accessibility I also noticed that it's very likely to be unreadable by many people. This is proved by the lack of contrast; by the WCAG standards it's a failure.

  Sibling comment explained my point correctly, but in the interest of fleshing out my comment more nicely: There is a meme in software development, of a developer who writes code, tests locally, and pushes, only to be told that the code fails for other devs, or on CI deployment to a testing environment, or whatever, and responding "well it works on my machine". Depending on the case and how charitable you're feeling, the dev in question can mean that as anything from "how strange that it worked here and not there; let me start debugging", to "well it worked for me so your system must be the problem". My analogy was that you are a single person who appears to be claiming that the text style in question is totally fine because on your screen and with your eyes and brain, the text is readable. And this is not without value, but it comes across as a bit tone-deaf when others pipe up and say that it isn't readable to them, and even offer an objective standard by which the claim could be assesed, and you simply repeat that it works for you. Like... we believe that you don't see a problem, but clearly other people do, and they've even offered a way to remove the subjective human evaluation and you still don't seem to believe that they might have a point.
