>The main issue I see is that your proposal adds a 'theme' to a layer.
It adds a theme to the whole map. The user can turn it on or off, but they have
no control over specific layers.

No, this is what I'm proposing:

We can easily to change that with
[filters](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/5328#issuecomment-2481193144).
There is no need to rush anything, we can test them for as long as we need.
They don't have to be enabled by default if people really don't want to and we
can even mark it as a beta feature if people want.

Compare it to other map applications that have dark theme and you will see that
it's too bright. Here is GNOME Maps for example:

OSM in light theme for comparison:
