    Blue LEDs were a technological breakthrough that took decades of work to create and enabled pretty much all modern tech.

      Blue LEDs are great for when you need something blue in particular, but the color is piercing and way too bright. Then they are used as the default without any consideration for any other color.

      They are shitty in how they are used, rather than their individual abilities and functions.

        The brightness is too bright, not the color. The brightness is always a choice by the manufacturer they could easily make it dimmer using the exact same components.
