From an accessibility standpoint, from what I understand, it's not so much an issue of whether the background and text is dark or light as it is the contrast between the two. At a certain point, if the value of the text and background is too similar, it can make the text nearly impossible to read.

I've also heard that dark mode is a lot easier on the batteries of hand held devices.

Agreed

Due to just about every new phone having AMOLED; dark backgrounds (more so completely blacked out) are actually huge battery savers
