Maybe not avoid using entirely, but I can easily imagine someone that can't use it for more that 10 minutes or so because the brightness causes them headaches.

That's true, it will make things easier for the current users. But as I said, I doubt if it will increase the overall hits for Wikipedia or be a last straw for people hesitating to use the site

Why the fuck do you think accessibility is about increasing hits?

That's a pretty ableist attitude. You don't really know how many people and how much are being affected and is easy to dismiss an accessibility option when you're nor affected.
