Many OLED screens consume less power when displaying mostly black, so it is not uncommon for phones to be used that way. If you are used to dark mode from other uses¹ you might prefer it for everything else on *LED screens too even though it would likely feel unnatural for “real” reading on paper³. -- [1] not caught the bug myself yet, but most of the devs around me use it for coding, I've used it for terminal work for as long as I can remember, and have my phone in dark mode² so apps & web stuff that respect that are light-on-dark [2] apparently this saves battery life on OLED screens, though not as much as some saying that seem to think, and it is also nicer for low-light situations like when I'm shutting down in the evening (but have messages to respond to before I do).
