I think the point of checkbox is fine as long as they default to prefers-color-scheme, because there are times when it is nice to be able to switch on a site without having to change your OS color scheme.

I agree, that is what I meant with the "main" source. It would also be cool if browsers could just add a color-scheme toggle in their UI. That way it can be available for all websites without needing to look around for the in-site toggle. (Firefox has this in the dev tools but that isn't exactly user-friendly).

I agree that it'd be cool for browsers to add a per-site color-scheme toggle in the UI.

While it does lack in many other areas, Safari on MacOS has a wonderful interface for per-site default behavior for: automatically using reader-mode, allowing permissions (microphone, etc), setting page zoom, etc. This would be the perfect place for per-site overrides of the system light/dark mode.
