It kind of is though. I generally prefer dark mode but when there's enough ambient light, I can deal with light mode just fine. When I'm in a darker environment, light mode (even at very low brightness) is too bright, to the point where sometimes I can't even look at the screen. A screen that I can't look at is, by definition, less readable than one that I can.
