Thank you for asking!

One that I know about (though I am sure there are others) is that many people have an astigmatism in their eyes and so it is very difficult to see anything in dark conditions as the light blurs across their vision when put on a black/dark background (this has other effects like making it awful to drive at night, for example).

The correct solution is to not have any theme as a default, either base it on what folks already have it set at a system level or ask on startup.

I am sorry to hear about your eyes. However, hopefully either of the solutions can be implimented instead of developers making a choice or impliment both a light theme and dark theme, with imo light being the default being the currently 'best' option, can be implimented with the option to change it in apps that don't follow system theming nor ask, so hopefully the most amount of people can see it well enough to change it.
