Now, with dark mode able to being controlled by CSS media queries and also able to be done automatically according to system preferences, the complexity argument doesn't hold. It's less complex than the later-added comment collapsing behavior and navigation.
One question this is contingent on: does there exist a well-defined secure subset of CSS such that we don't have to worry about weird vulnerabilities?

What I'd* like to do is let people upload their own CSS and have HN serve it back to them. Then you can make your own darkmode (or anymode), and people can share them so you can reuse someone else's.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Dark Reader is free and open source software, always has been. That price on the main page is just for a voluntary donation if you so desire. The free download buttons are in the middle of the page. There are also multiple links to the source code at the bottom.
Not true. You must install from the AppStore and it charges you.

I don’t know the answer, but if it is “no,” would it be feasible to add a few more user settings ala topcolor to achieve a more basic version of this?

It would be really appreciated for you guys to consider adding a dark theme for HackerNews. The reasons, well, could be added as comments here in the thread. Though, as you may imagine, it's mostly because of my eyes when I visit you guys without daylight.
Have people complaining of eyestrain from "light mode" considered checking their display brightness? Displays should match the brightness of their backgrounds, or in general somewhere around 100–150 cd/m² (aka 100–150 nits). Most monitors are capable of going much brighter than this, and really should not be used that way, because it tends to... cause eyestrain.
