They are, but for some reason I find black on white is fine, but white on black is too much.

I think that when eyes see a scene that is mostly dark (like dark mode), they naturally tend to overexpose. That is probably an evolutionary thing to see tigers hiding in the bushes at night. This is why dark mode may feel of higher contrast
