Twenty Twenty-One: Dark Mode causes flicker (light to dark) when reloading

Description

V: 5.8-beta4-51244. Theme: Twenty TwentyOne. No plugins installed

This is related to the Dark Mode support associated with the Twenty Twenty-One theme.

When the user reloads a page, if dark mode settings is switched ON, there is a slight flicker to the original colour(light mode) before the dark mode content is shown. I tried with two test sites and in both the issue exists.

Steps to reproduce:
1: Appearance -> Customize -> colours and dark mode
2: Enable dark mode support there.
3: Create a new page. add some content and publish it.
4: make sure the floating dark mode toggle is ON
5: Reload the page few times, you'll notice some flicker when reloading.

Issue:
Here the page loads the content initially in light mode and then changes it to dark mode, causing the flicker.

Hi

Is this not present in earlier WordPress versions?
Which browser and OS?
Does the same happen when you are logged out?
