Does that mean they'll get dark mode if the system is in dark mode?

In which case I don't understand what the author is complaining about. Sounds like dark mode would be working as intended.

They want "easy styling" but I took that to mean things like icons, some colors, etc. Not totally replacing what buttons look like. I agree -- being consistent with the OS is a good thing.
