I wrote a whole post last year about how using #000 is often preferred. It’s incredibly annoying how hard it actually is to find themes that are optimized for OLED on desktop. Mobile is less bad but often, particularly in FOSS apps, black is an option.
I don't even have an OLED display for my desktop and I've still preferred pure black background for the longest time.
I'm glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.
I think you could make an argument about depth & shadows being more difficult with a black background but I would question your design if those were imperative to the design.
