90% is a gross exaggeration. The Mail app is pure black[0]. Apps that have grey on black like Messages have styles carried over from the light version of apps — they weren’t specifically optimized for dark mode to improve readability. Other apps that I’ve checked: Music, Phone, Photos, Files, Calendar, even Twitter.

I don't see any blacks in that screenshot?

If you bring the image into a photo editor you'll find that the background of Mail's dark mode is RGB #000000, the purest digital black there is.

It’s hard to have a discussion when you act in bad faith. The background is #000000.

Maybe you’re not looking at it on a screen capable of true black?
