I'm not being dismissive. I agree with choice. I'm just pointing out that it could have been done for nearly 30 years and wasn't till OLED power saving was a requirement. Some people liked it, for whatever reason, so it's been added to lots of things that don't need it or work less well in dark or inverted mode.
I have researched the photosensitivity claim. If there was sound evidence for it, such a mode would have been implemented long ago.

There is no point in attacking me for pointing out the historical facts. I'm not wanting to deny anyone that wants dark (inverse to paper mode) the choice. It would be very bad, if like some websites, it was the default and you couldn't have paper mode.
