I really don't get it... I have severe astygmatism (which caused amblyopia in infancy) among other visual defects. My glasses do the best they can but my corrected vision still has a lot of visual defects. My poor vision causes me trouble with a lot of day-to-day things, but white text on black background is not one of them. I experimented without my glasses and I still don't have a preference for black-on-white over white-on-black - they are equal.

Not really a fan of the ranty style without a solution.

On top of that, like another commentor mentioned, people with astygmatism typically wear glasses or contacts?

I have irregular astigmatism. In my experience, glasses and normal soft contacts do very little to correct it. Scleral contacts do a decent job with the astigmatism, but they have a few other issues.
