We are talking about eBook readers, not PCs, so I'm not sure what your discussions of Window and MacOS have to do with anything?
Dark mode was available on a variety of devices used for reading many years before 2017, which you list as the important date, being the iPhoneX release with an OLED screen.
I did some coding on an eBook reader for the Sony PSP a decade before that, and dark mode was an option then.
Many people who routinely reads at night in bed with the lights off will have used dark mode on whatever devices were available, long before OLED screens were an option.
