   There actually are serious market studies, company studies, application
   studies, ergonomic studies supporting dark mode. But also in the link I
   shared there are the statistics of downloaded emacs themes; 

Those are statistics for how many times something was downloaded --
not the preference over one or the other...

   the popularity experience of spacemacs or doom-emacs and also other
   editors (atom, sublime, VSCode, Android Studio, the new Arduino
   IDE). Is everybody wrong?

Both sides can have a good reason to pick one default over the other.
There are plenty of editors that have a preference of a black-on-white
background too.
