Constantly looking at dark screens causes your pupils to dilate meaning things dont look as sharp.
Do it for years and you'll enjoy being blind by the time you're 30.
The original purpose of the dark theme was always to make it easier to read text in a dark room.
It's so much worse if you actually use it sitting in a well lit area, which you should be doing anyway if you're always on a device.
However modern light themes are disgustingly bright and designed as if it was meant for people who put their screens on low brightness anyway. They assume you'll always be in a well lit room at all times. I notice older light themes had more of a greyish/neutral tone that effectively made them useful in both settings.
I have a feeling that modern light and dark themes are some kind of vision psyop meant to damage your vision one way or another but light is the lesser evil because more can be done about it (like putting an orange light filter over it) compared to dark themes, whose vector of attack is in a completely different territory...
