Unless you have astigmatism, dark mode is a nightmare to read when your vision is not good.

I have astigmatism and disagree wholeheartedly. Light mode is like staring into the sun.

Just looks like this for me

Just need a well lit room for light mode and at least the white of the background bleeds into black text making it grey rather than the blurry mess of white on black.

I have astigmatism too and for me it looks just as bad when inverted, a blurry mess of black on white.

To me, what makes one a better choice vs the other has more to do with my environmental lighting.

If I'm on a place with a lot of light, the screen being black makes it have reflections so I prefer black on white in those cases.
If I'm in a dark place, the bright screen makes the screen itself the primary source of light which is not good for my eyesight, it can make my eyes feel like burning/tired after a while.

did you try making the text bigger and using red text instead of white?

red, being the slowest color visible for human eyes, is physically the easiest

astigmatic left eye here 👁️🍛

red, being the slowest color visible for human eyes

I think you mean either longest wavelength or lowest frequency.. or maybe lower energy?

it's the slowest, that's why it means Stop
