QQ about Dark Mode Toggles on websites How many options do you show to users? - Three values: System, Light, or Dark - Two values: Light, Dark (with one of them mapping to “System” behind the scenes). Why the one or the other? (I have an opinion about it, but I’m looking for external input)

Always three values. Two values don't give me a clear way to reset my choice to auto (follow the system). Especially if one of them is mapped to the system. All my UIs are following the system scheme that changes depending on the time of the day. And I avoid using apps that don't respect my choice.
