The wording if this makes it sound like supporting dark mode is table stakes. I don't think this is really the case. Personally, I don't expect a site to support dark mode by default.
I was ready to say that I guess that most users don't really know dark mode exists, but apparently over 80% of users prefer dark mode according to "studies" described at the links below. However, the methodology of any of these studies isn't really described, so I'm not at all sure of these results.

Personally, I don't expect a site to support dark mode by default. The irony is that Apple invented dark mode, so I do expect that site to support dark mode by default.
