Just use a browser that lets you apply a custom style sheet and apply one.

I think the point is that it's a very simple interface. I'm in the camp of it ain't broke, so let's not fix it.

It gives you an API, doesn't get in your way if you wanna add CSS. Everyone is free to consume HN as they they please, adding extra cruft really isn't in the spirit.

I’m not sure a couple of lines of CSS really counts as “extra cruft”

This. Thanks for illustrating how little is required for a basic dark mode support.
