If one can't set lightness mode in their OS, they almost certainly won't benefit with a button on the site.

Sites should follow the browser scheme (which usually follows OS) and can optionally provide a button to switch. This is possible with CSS only but too convoluted; one liner JS is enough for such optional cases.

What could you possibly be basing this theory on?
