There are very specific definitions for colors, and what they mean.

#000000 means 0.1 nits, #ffffff means 100 nits. That's standardized and specified.

The screen can't be wrong if it correctly matches the standard. If real-world content doesn't obey the standard, the content is wrong, not the standard.

Uhm, scree brightness control is a thing. Adaptive brightness is standard even on non high end phones. Same for desktops etc.

So a part of a standard which maps color to specific brightness levels is pretty much irrelevant outside of the unrealistic case of a perfect calibrated monitor in a perfect environment. Which does exist. But again is for most internet users unrealistic.

If you modify the brightness in software, you can also tonemap it properly and retain the contrast easily.
