Thank you very much for replying and sharing your thoughts! :)
All I ask is that you consider the os/browser preference settings for light/dark.

In my experience, most files in userspace are in an archaic binary format. And most hardware talks archaic binary.
Most developers interacting with files are going to be doing it through a higher level API, so while sure, technically they're stored like that, it's not like that's what the developer actually has to deal with. And most developers don't interact with hardware day to day, no. That's an exceptionally small set of people.
But also... everyone interacts with hardware whenever they use a a computer.
I think our difference of opinion has to do with abstraction layers here. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I work on web apps in java, python, and js, C++ desktop applications, and I operate a mars rover using various domain specific languages. Before switching to engineering I was a scientist and had to deal with data collection in the lab and field from all sorts of instrumentation which often required understanding low-level protocols and the movement of bits and bytes.
It's hard for me to imagine the world you're describing... sounds like it's full of script kiddies.

I woke up at 8AM Chicago time. Which is 6AM San Francisco time. Same thing.
I guess jokes are no-longer a thing in our culture? Let me spell it out: You should have woken up at 6 AM. The error would have been even funnier.
Nah I just think people here like to be liberal with their downvotes. "I didn't find that funny, downvote"
While I didn't get the joke, I still appreciate the attempt.
