Color icons needs to done twice - once for light mode and again for dark mode.

It is the reason for removing colors and shadings from all icons.

Think about what was lost in the quest for dark mode versus the benefits.

I would argue that menu icons are more useful than dark mode in several situations.

We don't need light mode and dark mode if we just set our monitor brightness correctly.

It seems some monitors now assume dark mode - only the very lowest brightness setting isn't blinding.

So in your opinion, monochrome icons are a sign of laziness, rather than an aesthetic choice. Got it.

I never said that. However, I think the entire industry ended up using monochrome icons due to aesthetic, and many practical reasons.
