I've never quite seen a stupid trend in web design take off like dark mode did. Maybe because it's just the ultimate perfect bike shed; something so completely inane and pointless, yet superficially dramatic, that it can be given entire meetings and dev cycles and treated like something important, when it's just 3 lines of CSS. It has become the very first thing anyone requests in a new application, and I have now seen countless entire sprints deficated to implementing it in different more complicated ways every time in each new app. Really bizarre.
