It isn't any of my business whether other people use light themes... but IMHO dark themes are just so much easier on the eyes, no matter the surrounding light, that I don't get why anyone would if they have the option.
For me, light themes are easier. Especially jarring, if a website forces a dark theme on me (theres's a easy-to-use @prefers-color-scheme, use that, will ya). And syntax highlighting on dark just doesn't work for me, no matter the scheme.
