> If you use a color-calibrated Over 99% of users don't, most phones are not high end and as such don't have such a screen. > feeling of something as bright as looking into the fucking sun Again, not a experience around 99% of internet users can follow, their devices don't get that bright, especially not on a per-pixel basis. Also most people use devices in rooms with varying degrees of natural sunlight showing in. And if whites are to bright then it's because my screen is wrongly setup for my eyes/usage. A perfect color calibrated screen is ironically often not a perfectly setup screen for normal usage.

There are very specific definitions for colors, and what they mean. #000000 means 0.1 nits, #ffffff means 100 nits. That's standardized and specified. The screen can't be wrong if it correctly matches the standard. If real-world content doesn't obey the standard, the content is wrong, not the standard.

Same for desktops etc. So a part of a standard which maps color to specific brightness levels is pretty much irrelevant outside of the unrealistic case of a perfect calibrated monitor in a perfect environment. Which does exist. But again is for most internet users unrealistic.
