No one has yet complained about the text colours.

To you. To other people they're not perfectly legible, they're unreadable. Why deliberately chose to exclude people?

Yeah, I don't see why it's so bad to point out that the site is completely illegible. Reminds me a bit of Wired magazine circa 1997.

It's fine to point out that the colors are troublesome. It's bad to complain about how you can't read it and your eyes still hurt, as if there's no way to avoid it.
