It appears only now because you never thought to use it before. People who want a dark mode will actively make it happen, whether or not the OS allows for it as a toggle. > Besides, light mode is much more readable in the sun light Kind of missing the point here. Why would you want something readable in sunlight... be the mode that you use at nighttime? White is harsh to my eyes, no matter the brightness. Especially at night. So I tend to find a dark mode solution regardless of what I am using. I have several stylus schemes that enable a dark mode on sites that don't have one. I've been using Adwaita-dark as my theme in xUbuntu for years, as well. Before that, before Win10 took the ability away, all of my Windows themes were configured to be darker. Going back to the late 80s. Original DOS could be considered "dark mode," after all... it's just white text on a black background. Terminals, too. The 'hype' basically amounts to: "The OS lets us set a theme without us using third party options." Before the OS, app or site has an integrated dark mode option, you bet your pretty penny we've been looking for other ways to make it happen.
