For the same reason that reading a peice of paper with a lamp over to the side does not. Unless of course that DOES, then this probably will, too.
It's a fact that some folk find backlit screens perfectly comfortable.
I suspect, without any science to back up my hunch, that for me, it's the difference between having soft light reflected off a diffuse near-white surface vs. staring into a half a million little specular light sources.
