People who prefer light theme over dark/night theme.. Why?

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

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.

Depends on your device

My 5 year old laptop's screen is so dim that on bright days you fully can't see dark mode, but my phone and monitor work just fine on dark mode on all but the brightest days

True, I was thinking about phones only. Honestly I can't imagine using Office in dark theme, but even my computer is set to dark themes wherever possible.

for the normies

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.
