The problem with prefers-color-scheme is that it doesn't indicate an actual user preference since the default is not "no preference" (which used to exist as a possible value in at least FF before it was intentionally removed) but rather whatever the OS/browser picked. So any website that wants to choose a "default" appearance but still provide choice to users who actually care cannot use this mechanism at all.
