My eyes are very sensitive to glare from the screen. I can cope with light mode for only a limited amount of time. A dark mode with large areas of white is unusable. It used to be common for programs to have low quality dark modes, but this has generally improved. Excel is widely known to be problematic so that there’s a well publicised workaround involving putting a dark image behind all cells; Google Sheets just works. I’ve learned only to use programs that work for me.

As a more general point, it’s about attention to detail.
