Why is light on dark a bad reading experience? Is it just specific executions of it or in general?

I have aging eyes and find it harder to focus on white on black, also screen glare is more noticeable against a black background. It may be that because white on black is unnatural our eyes/brains have to do more work to interpret what they see.
I'm curious at your statement that white on black is unnatural.
