And how do you know this? I decided to check myself, looked for dark mode statistics on android, and:
>Dark mode is used by 81.9% of 2,500 Android users on their phones, in apps, and in other situations. 9.9% alternate between the light and dark
So it's the other way around. Only a very small minority of users actually care about light mode.
Mobile is different from desktop. Dark mode became popular with OLED panels because on those it saves battery, and blacks actually look nice, compared to the average LCD. I use dark mode on mobile but light mode on desktop.
I think android is a big difference here. What about excel or Google sheets? Word?
If you're building win32 you're not targeting android.
That survey was power users only: https://www.androidauthority.com/dark-mode-poll-results-1090...
I would be astounded if a majority of general Android users used dark mode, as light mode is the default on most phones (all, IME).
Mine switches between light and dark depending on the time of day. It was the default behavior.
I'm not sure how much Android use generalizes - I prefer light mode, but I'll use dark mode for the battery savings on portable devices with OLED screens.
