Proposal is that these are made darker so that they are easier on the eye.

The above image also uses a strong weight.

None

@Evomatic , my suggestion on when considering "what is easier on the eyes" is look at using webAim's color checker (https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/). To ensure the foreground and background pairing pass (AA) for the size that this text is at. This way it's "easier on the eyes" for more people.
