I do turn down brightness to an extent, but the problem with the most commonly used backlit LCD panels is that turning down brightness also reduces contrast and color vibrance. This is why I typically use dark mode with a higher-but-not-maxxed brightness.
This doesn't seem to be nearly as much of a problem on my phone, which uses an OLED panel. Color and contrast are retained to a much greater degree at low brightness, which makes lower brightness more practical to use. I'd still like a light-mid-gray light mode option for iOS/Android regardless.
