Why do macbooks brighten the screen when it’s brighter, and darken when it’s dark instead of the other way around?

It just seems weird that the solution to try to use tech in the dark is “make the screen darker”. And the solution to using it in a brighter environment, isn’t to make it dark in order to avoid hurting your eyes by having something bright in a bright environment, but apparently it makes more sense to make it even brighter.

Go ahead and try it your way and see what happens. You can manually adjust the brightness.

You can’t see a dark screen in a light environment. The reflections of everything else prevent you from seeing the content on the screen.

In a dark environment, it takes less backlight to be able to see clearly, since there is no ambient light overpowering it. Brightening the screen would be blinding. Darkening it allows you to see the content more clearly.
