Saves your battery. Easy on eyes. Dark theme is just nicer, what am I missing?

I personally belong to the dark theme cult, but this spring we had to rent a flat for a while where ambient light conditions were just horrible. For the first time in my life I just HAD to use light themes everywhere because dark themes would just make my eyes hurt after a while. So maybe people who prefer light themes just spend most of their time somewhere with dim uneven lights?

I live in Australia, very sunny most of the year. Light theme feels like I'm shining a flashlight into my eyes even during the day. I just don't understand light theme.

I'm fairly normal, I think. Is it possible that some people just don't know there is a better option? My partner had no idea and I had to set her phone on dark theme after she saw mine.
