Yeah but "dark mode" for Win3 through WinXP was primarily to support passive matrix LCDs, which required inverted color schemes to appear black-on-white. That is why the built-in "high contrast" color schemes look so aggressively awful.

In lieu of actual system wide dark mode for everything in Windows 10, even those awful "inverted" color schemes were useful and quite bearable after adjusting colors a bit (like this one for example https://github.com/nitschis/GreyEveTheme ), so it was at least better than nothing. It's no longer a problem in 11 though.
