Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has no idea what systemwide dark and light mode settings are. There is exactly one reason they are seeking out this control: "It's in dark mode and I want it light" or "It's light mode and I want it dark."
The improvement for them is that when they get here and see "Dark, Light, System" with System selected, they wonder "What's System?" Is System important? Will I break something if I change it from System? Is this even the right setting or is this something else? If I want it changed back to Dark later, do I need to choose "System" or should I choose "Dark"? Will this have unexpected effects on my whole computer if I choose "System" in this webpage?

The non-engineer would say the "System" one "doesn't always do the same thing when pressed" and that the "Light" and "Dark" in the 2-way control absolutely always do the same (and desired) thing: Immediately change it to Light or Dark. The side-effect of saving it as an override is, to be fair, a guess at their intent, but it's a very good bet.
