Is there a eye-strain-related reason that the lights should be turned on in this circumstance? I find myself in this position a lot, not realizing the screen is way brighter than it needs to be for the brightness in the area.

I like to be in the dark and with screen at minimal brightness, all light is the enemy

I don't believe the iPhone screen gets dark enough. I've had mine on its lowest possible setting since I got it, and I still sometimes want to make it darker. Thank goodness so many sites have "dark mode" nowadays.

Check under accessibility settings, there’s a mode called “Reduce White Point” that will make it even darker. It’s great. You can add a toggle for it in your control center so it’s easy to switch on/off
