I heard an NPR report about this - when they guys arrived at some remote village, he had to make hats for the chief of the tribe, then his (various) wives, then his underlines, and then everyone else. A sign of respect, they said.

Some of us are old enough to remember when all computer text was green ascii on a black background. We were jubilant when we finally got to look at something that reembled a real book or newspaper.

Dark mode only saves energy when using OLED screens where a pixel emits its own light. In an LCD the light is emitted by a backlight and to get dark it needs to activate 100% blocking in a screening layer. It draws more energy than showing white, though not much. The only way to reduce energy in LCD is to turn down the backlight brightness.

Ever been on call and had to look at your phone at say 3am after you've been asleep for a few hours? It's more than energy savings. Google (Android) gets it and I presume Apple does too. Not Microsoft though. The oblivious ant army marches on. . .
