Making sRGB 1000 nits is extremely bad colorimetry. sRGB is supposed to go with 80 nits in its original definition, and being an order of magnitude off indicate

  My own monitor calibrates sRGB to 100 nits (thank god), but a lot of consumer displays (especially smartphones) are so badly color managed that they display sRGB at 600nits and more, with no option to properly change that. Generally, media and text need very different contrast ratios and colorspaces, and text should never use the full contrast available. But the big issue is that most content is using entirely unmanaged colors, not even correctly setting them to sRGB (or actually the color profile of whatever shitty 6-bit 100:1 contrast panel from 2004 they managed to find on the dump). If that was actually used, we wouldn't have any of these issues and everything would be correctly tonemapped. But they don't, they set no profile, which in some software means "whatever the display supports" (although recently enough software enforces "probably sRGB at 1000:1 contrast 100nits max brightness" luckily).
