Technically it’s not really hypocritical because the author never claimed that a lack of light mode is an accessibility problem.

I think it’s also notable that websites being accessible isn’t really about being tied to a specific theme, it’s about being compatible with accessibility tooling and standards (screen readers as an example). There are plenty of CSS manipulation tools that can make a website look whatever way you want.

Then all that'd apply to sites not having a dark theme, undercutting the author's point because he could just use stylus to.make his own dark theme for sites.

And if I understand you right, you completely miss the point of the article.

I'm already resorting to tools and workarounds (ie Dark mode reader, invert image extensions, invert colors on phone). But

  - they are workarounds, cumbersome, and don't always work well. 
  - I'm tech-savvy, if you are not and suffer the same condition, you are fucked.

Builtin dark mode on websites and apps would just be net benefit for me for little cost.

You understood them wrong I think. dangus seemed to suggest CSS manipulation tools were enough for people who wanted a light theme.
