Then I think you need to clarify this: "Privacy and fingerprinting concerns
related to this media feature are minimal, since it is unlikely that most
individuals will have this setting enabled all the time."
You should explain why. I don't see why people who would need to invert
colors that needed to do would not do it all the time unless it was only
for a situational impairment.

Hi Rich,
While I think it’s okay for an end user to use a feature like this as
something like a “night-mode” rendering, the two are not identical, and
therefore don’t want the WG proposal to confuse the two. Inverting display
colors is distinct from a low-light condition, and we’ll likely receive
valid objections if we conflate the two.

lighting conditions detected by the device much the same way automobile
navigation systems change color schemes in response to lighting conditions.
