From what Wayne said it seems like that was the intent -- to allow people to pick their own colors.  Currently WCAG has a failure that says if you define either the foreground or the background color you must also define the other color.  But I'd imagine this proposed SC would go further to allow users with low vision to customize borders and backgrounds, etc. while not losing meaning, state, or focus indication.

I accept that, but regarding the proposed SC does that mean mandating colour switches on websites?

If not, then I suggest the SC text is switched around to talk about not causing issues for people who do apply their own colours.
