As someone who has moderate to fairly heavy lighht sensitivity when I'm not dealing with migraines and extremely heavy light sensitvity with headaches, I'm just going to say that you're absolutely wrong here.

Not every user has the same physiology. Dark mode is an accessibility option for a fair number of us.

Can flip this around: lots of websites now default to dark mode because reasons, and dark mode is very difficult for me to read (all blurry, also gives me a headache after a while).

I think both dark and light modes are an accessibility option.

Yes, the correct way to approach this is to make good versions of both and respect the user’s preference. Font size is similar: you’ll never make everyone happy with a single choice so you should respect the user’s ability to know what they need.

Well, not quite. Correct way is to simply have everything configurable instead of some product manager imposing their personal aesthetic.

Want green on pink? Just configure it! White on black or black on white. Same. Orange on brown? Have at it!

Computers are supposed to be infinitely personalizable, anything that takes away from that is a bug.
