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.
