While a parachute is helpful in certain situations it's better not to fall out of the sky to begin with. It is, so to say, a poor workaround for the real problem.

Shit, i tripped, fell, and started reading HN in the dark. Oops! Good thing it has dark mode.

But aren't there numerous situations in which it is rather dark and one might want to spend some time reading?

Like at a bus stop in the evening, long distance buses, during flights, while one has difficulties to sleep next to a partner.

I struggle to see how stopping to read in dark environments altogether is a serious proposal to the problem.
