Yeah. You'll notice that there's a mix of light and dark. Some segments are light-on-dark, then it switches to dark-on-light. It appears to me like a "design trend" that's at odds with accessibility. https://www.apple.com does this too.

Why would it be at odds with accessibility? The text contrast is excellent in each section, and the light/dark segments clearly define the border between sections. Forced dark mode can be difficult to read for users with astigmatism, but the font size is large, and the actual documentation sites[0] do have a light/dark switch.

I have zero astigmatism and dark mode is hard to read as letters look all blurry.

This, plus there is research that suggests dark mode does not help with retention of information.[1] I have started to slowly transition back to light mode for most of my work applications. (Email, Coding, etc.)

Dark mode feels correct, but it is hostile. Now blue light on the other hand... you should get filters for your monitor/glasses.

Dark mode is great if you want to have many distinct colors on the dark background, like syntax highlighting.

For monochrome, light background and dark text work better.
