While this may be true in the PC environment -- mobile browsers in large do not support such functionality.

I believe the intent of the SC 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum is to allow for sufficient contrast regardless of a user knowing about or having access to change CSS preferences. Perhaps I'm expecting too much but I want sufficient contrast while still having access to the design colors that represent the website.
