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
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.
