I dark mode all the things I can, where I can - VS Code, Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher, Chrome, Spark, Notion, Tick Tick, iA Writer, Spotify (naturally) - and it's my preference on sites too if it's an option (Thanks Dev.to!)
For sites that don't offer dark mode where i'd like, I use the Dark Reader extension (Sparingly though, this is only for pages I use a lot but might not care about colour accuracy, as I've found them to shift) This has worked great on Google Sheets for example - one click and all my sheets are in dark mode without having to mess around with changing background colours etc manually - which is nice because if I share a sheet with someone else I haven't changed their default view.
I'll admit, if an app doesn't have dark mode, I will let that factor weigh in my evaluation process for if I want to keep using it going forward (Looking at you Figma and Adobe XD)
For me it's mostly an aesthetics thing, but also a comfort thing - the blinding white of multiple spreadsheets used to irritate me and strain my eyes.
As it's subjective though, I will treat it as an option going forward for most websites/software developed. I might use media queries (prefers-color-scheme) to default to a visitors browser setting, or I might default to darkmode just because that's the theme I (or a client) want - but (at least for my sites and at the recommendation to clients) I will have it as an option so visitors can choose between two.
Of course there are exceptions. I have been using Figma, Adobe XD and Typora for writing all of my blog posts on here and they ALL have light themes. So sometimes it depends on the circumstances and my mood can change like the colour theme.
