I'd like to see some of these studies.  "Dark mode" goes against what so 
many people have been doing for centuries (think of books for example) 
that I'm really curious to see why they were wrong.

Each software has its audience.  Some are targeted at advanced users, 
others at a more general audience.  Word processors work out of the box 
with all the nice features you describe, yet LaTeX is still there (and was 
already there before all of them existed).  Visual Basic and <name your 
favorite next-generation programming language here> each have some of the 
features you describe, yet C is still there (and was there before they 
existed).  And so forth.

Yet Emacs is one of the oldest computer programs still in use.  And not 
all its users are 60-year old people.
