A hunch: paper vs. screens or, going fully digital, paper-like software vs. terminal-like software. Microsoft Word, MacOS Pages, WordPress WYSIWYG, etc. come with the default background bright and was/is a pain to change; terminals, IDEs, code editors, etc. come with the default background dark and is a pain to read lots of code on a bright background and interface with other tools, mostly dark backgrounds.
