Senior dev and I like dark mode because I also like my retinas.
Your retinas will be perfectly fine, if you make sure the whole room is lit. Sunlight is significantly stronger than the backlight from a monitor.
Dark mode and a dimly lit room do make sense, if you're coding something in the evening and don't want to disrupt your circadian rhythm.
Mine sure aren't with light mode, even in brightly lit office environment. Different people have different eyes, and needs. What may be an unnecessary gimmick for you may very well be vital to the next person's livelihood.
Dark mode in the dark makes your pupils do funny things like constantly widening and narrowing. Dark mode with a backlight is the best. Any screen in the complete darkness is like self destruction to the eyes
This is why I've stuck around the intermediate level for a long time. my eyes cant take the super dark or super bright.
Definitely just that reason and no others.
