Benefit of that is that there are very few websites that have only dark mode available, while most content that has the dark mode option looks more consistent with only white mode on
Maybe it’s also subjective - I feel my focus drifts way quicker using dark mode than light mode, especially since I have to focus much harder with my eyes on the writing that I am looking at.
From the practical perspective of websites, there is a lot of inconsistency between sites. Some are well made with some “darker” shade, but I completely can’t stand the sites that just go all in OLED black with pure white letters - makes my head hurt hard. Light mode seems to work generally well everywhere
Downvote target comment, however light mode has been studied to be clearly superior to dark mode - so I just use that

I think it might depend on your user case. This study seems to suggest dark mode can reduce eye strain and fatigue in certain conditions. I personally like dark mode while programming because I can retain focus for longer. But when I am in a bright environment or I have to proofread I occasionally switch themes.
