This article is so true. I really have trouble reading white on black, or differentiating different shades of black and gray, it all blends together, further exacerbated by using a low blue light setting on my monitor. This is something that worries me about the trend towards dark modes and often complete lack of light mode alternatives (Steam). And as others have mentioned, the complaint about light modes being too bright is often a brightness setting issue and not a design issue. There was a trend a few years back of using really light text colours on white, that's awful too. We need to respect the rules of contrast before what may "look" appeasing to the designer.
