It seems likely the author was just into it because it is a fad. Here is why I use and like dark mode: My eyes feel better on both short term and long term use. It doesn't feel as uncomfortable on my eyes. Whether or not it is technically more readable or not doesn't matter to me. I don't need a study of a population to know what feels better to me. I'm a sample size of one, but the only one in this case that matters. Others are free to make their own choice. YMMV.
