Well to be fair, the lights used to be candles and then incandescent bulbs, now it's led that also emits blue light

That doesn't change the fact tech companies just marketed it as an excuse to make one feel it is now "safe" to use their phone in bed in a flim-flam interpretation of science. You ever look at those blue filters on phones? Blue is still very present.

Books still exist, other non-blue reading mediums, as do non-blue lights. Thus the "real science behind that" part.
