No action whatsoever is being done purely for someone else's sake.
But maybe I don't appreciate their presence and should wait their turn :)

i use light mode everywhere. i change color schemes to light, and create my own for applications that don't provide them.
i don't know why.
It takes all types. No shame in having your own preferences ¯\(ツ)/¯
Wouldn’t them being in the dark bolster the argument that they are bats?
And if they were lost bats, what would turning the lights on be meant to do?
I should get that diagnosis. 😐
I never denied I’m a bat, I’m simply not lost!
I find myself wearing my sunnies indoors more often than not. On days I forget and grab my regular glasses, switching over to the tinted lenses is literal full body relief as the light input is reduced.

I have a different idea what dark rooms are for I guess
Then you should know it's not good for you to sit in dark
